Just pointing out it has only polled ahead in one survey, and in direct voting intent (this is to say, not in the post-processed data). There's a lot one has to do to surveys to obtain a reliable forecast, among other things using vote rememberence for reliability (people get asked hwom they voted for before, if they did, and adjustments are done on this basis). Because of Podemos being a new party and this being the first time they are to participate in general elections, it is particularly hard to track their likely results. --David. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
