Old British Opinion Polls
Some
Old British Opinion Poll statements I have read on,
In Political Opinion Polls
by F Teer and J D Spence This is all accurate I have checked
Polls on 1950s-60s election run up discussions. And conference facts, Also polling on the PM and Opposition leader in the 50s-60s annually, of who was more respected. A 1965 poll on the Labour and Tory Party leaders of are they respected in way of certain character traits i.e are they tough or sincere. And some more polls below, seeinglu.
It said of 1960s elections polls after Tory Conferences generally saw blips in their support. As too for Labour, and for the Liberals it said any election success would often see a blip in their support.
It was very perplexed about the miss polling of the 1970 election predicting a Labour win and seeing a Tory one, but then again it shows it just needed refining, as they were so used to being right.
They said normally parties gain support in election campaigns,
But said in 1959 the Tory lead narrowed from 6.% Gallup and 8% NOP to 2% Gallup
and 4% NOP when the election neared finishing.
They said 1964 the Parties
leads stayed level
In 1966 Labour's lead fell at the end of the campaign sharply
after staying a steady lead.
In 1970 it increased at the start then fell at
the end
It stated between 1938 to 1970 most by election polls predicted
the right outcome, like the surprise Orpington Liberal win, and said that just
some were wrong., I always in my area see by election polls, of pre general election
polls, and they are very often way out. For constituencies,
Just before 1963
More British people wanted Butler to PM than wanted Home to be,
But Home
rose to 57% satisfaction a great honeymoon, period, despite the fact most British
people thought the Tories would lose votes with a change of leader. Home's popular
honeymoon fell after 9 months,
Eden's honeymoon lasted 6 months,
Heath
was always from 1967-1970 less popular than Wilson
