    Sad to say it fails to surprise me. Did the Yes campaigns really think that they could just go on holiday and nothing would happen?

    vastly irritated,

    Nationwide, usually 1000 people sampled at 100 locations.

    If it was a reflection of IT readers only, it would probably be far higher for Yes.

    That's fair enough. Thanks for the explanation.

    But statistically a sample of 1000 people is equally as valid as a poll of 1,000,000.

    Indeed should there be a similar slide between now and the next poll in a week or two and it would be really all to play for.

    Awful news for the YES side. Combine this with the poor postering and the continued focus on fighting the NO claims rather than propagating the YES, means that the Lisbon treaty is in very serious danger of being defeated again.

    Have the bookies odd changed since this poll came out?

    At more or less the same time, I think, the odds on a No lengthened.

    Looks to me like they will have to turn up the media bias a notch or two more.I'm out around putting up vote no to Lisbon posters and I'm getting a great local "community" response.This poll looks promising.

    Any of these posters have any truth on them?

    Yes, the odds on a NO vote were 5/1 with PP earlier in the week, they're down to 9/2 now, while the odds on a YES vote were 1/10 and now they're 1/9.

    That was exactly the mistake of YES campaigners during the last referendum.
