Jonathan Pie nails it. Again
Years and years ago, I used to follow UKPollingReport at election time. It's not my thing any more, but a good place to see a discussion of the latest opinion polls.

The starting gun has been fired. 39 days to go before polling day. YouGov poll here shows a slight narrowing. Are things tightening a little now that people are faced with a choice, or

There used to be a good discussion of different polling companies and methodologies.
I did spot a post about some nutters.
"Every month I force myself to listen to Times Radio's focus group. Today it's a collective noun of Reform voters. sphinx.acast.com/p/acast/s/timesredbox/e/6661bf0fa44e500011433aeb/media.mp3

Danny Finkelstein, a Conservative peer and grandee who advised both Hague and his predecessor, PM John Major, in the 1990s, fears a long-term reversal of Tory fortunes is on the horizon. “Having been for a century the natural party of government, with occasional periods of progressive alternative, we could be in a position where we have long periods of Labour with occasional periods of Conservative governments,” he said.
Right-wing agitator Nigel Farage, speaking on a forthcoming episode of POLITICO’s Westminster Insider podcast, was blunter. “They’ve killed themselves,” he said. “It’s done. It’s over.”

A telling poll on BBC news last night showed the Tories collecting 19% of the vote...and Reform gathering 17%. Only a projection, sure, but it's an early indicator of how big a bite Farage could take out of Tory seats at their current rate of collapse. The aftermath will be brutal and backbenchers like Patel and Braverman will be howling for blood as they feed on the carrion feast left behind.

I expect some nutters will not notice and try and compare with its old polling

It seems to have turned into just another politics discussion forum. Previously it was better moderated and was much more focused on polling. But it is run by different people now.
