2001/02 British
Election Study

 


Thursday May 5th, 2005

The rolling campaign panel data are collected by YouGov. The data are collected using YouGov's standard sampling and are weighted according to YouGov's standard weighting procedures. The pre-campaign baseline panel was N = 7813 and conducted by internet survey. Approximately 270 respondents are re-contacted for interviews every day during the campaign.  The responses from these re-interviews are collated on a rolling 6-day basis to produce the graphs shown on this website. The daily data displayed in the graphs are 6-day moving averages. N's vary and typically exceed 1100. Note that in reporting vote shares we distinguish between all respondents who express a voting preference and those respondents who indicate that they are certain to vote.
