Kevin Bonham is an excellent addition to the blogosphere. If you are interested in politics then understanding polling is is a must.
He has several times pointed out the problems of political polling with his commentary of the polling failure of the last feral election being the stand out.
In THIS piece he points out reporting of the resolve polling is plainly inaccurate.
I am still astounded on how bad many politicians are at understanding polling. This was seen when Rudd was gotten rid of with highly suspect 'internal polls' which were at odds with the published polls.
Simon Crean for one could well have been PM if the reporters at the Australian and others were numerate.
