This is extremely shoddy poll reporting.

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen

The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

It’s not known as “The Daily Fail” for nothing!

And yet these front pages are reviewed on @bbclaurak.bsky.social & @news.sky.com, and the narrative is spread.
Job done....

It's... The mail. What were we actually expecting?

The pope is a catholic & the press tweak news stories to favour their RW owners. Unless you've been living in a cave for the last 50 years, such reporting is the normal & expected. What next.. no genocide in Gaza?

Not shoddy, deliberate.
The MSM wants Labour to fail.

Pollsters aren’t responsible for this but after an election where the polls generally performed poorly there is a collective interest in polling being reported carefully and in good faith.

The pollsters aren’t responsible but when their polls are distorted like this by news media they do have an option to decline to take their money going forward. Which I doubt will happen.

The ridiculous thing is that the government is pretty unpopular. There’s no need to be dishonest reporting what a poll says.

jwsidders.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is the headline voting intention from the poll …

dwaind.bsky.social•52 days ago

There is every need to drip drip into the people you have converted.

drjennings.bsky.social•52 days ago

Strangely the Mail didn’t lead with the poll finding that a majority of the British public think that Elon Musk shouldn’t be allowed to make a large donation to Reform.

They are not a newspaper. They are a right wing propaganda outlet and should be tested as such. Same with the Telegraph.

Treated even.

If they had led with 2/3rds think he's doing badly, fine. Feels like they picked the headline, asked the question, didn't get results to back it up, ran it anyway

richvivv.bsky.social•52 days ago

Well they’re the ones doing everything they can to make them unpopular. Bogus reporting of a poll is small potatoes

elnorte77.bsky.social•52 days ago

its not shoddy its wilful lying.

realcaptainhaddock.bsky.social•52 days ago

It isn’t reporting

idasmum.bsky.social•52 days ago

Of course it's shoddy. It's the Daily Heil. Don't expect anything near the truth from them.

hawksland.bsky.social•52 days ago

To be expected from the Daily Fail

ralftometschek.bsky.social•52 days ago

They would prolly also argue that Brexit was the best decision ever 😅

bedsbabe.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes it is truly appalling. Not sure reporting is what it can be called.

climatenews.bsky.social•52 days ago

Has the publication in question ever reported anything in a way other than extremely shoddy?

It openly supported Adolf Hitler.

boxman266.bsky.social•52 days ago

Didn't stop the BBC reporting the headline today
As long as the BBC keeps reporting the political views of a tiny number of very rich men as "news" this sort of lying will continue
