Dodgy opinion polls is the best they can do the results of which are frequently bent to suit the politics of the user.

My own leanings that might be typical, reasonably bright, have a Masters Degree, currently vote Tory but wants to vote Labour but can't because the party is headed up by a dinosaur.

Come a change of Labour leader though and I could change my vote.

Anyhow, young or old, thick or clever most folks vote selfishly for the party that gives them the most goods at least risk.

So in manifesto writing bribes work.
Over 50000 people in the poll Grist. The exit poll was around 30000 and got the result and the vote percentage pretty much spot on.
