ComesRes 3–9 Sep 2021[edit]

I'm not experienced at reading poll data but what is currently posted for these dates might be wrong. Going via the pdf on https://comresglobal.com/polls/scottish-political-tracker-september-2021/ it seems to indicate for the totals - SNP 32%, Cons 20%, Lab 17%, Greens 12%, Lib Dems 6%, Alba 2%, Others 1%. Yet what is currently posted for this poll is - SNP 36%, Cons 23%, Lab 18%, Greens 13%, Lib Dems 7%, Alba 0%, Others 3%. Have I made a mistake/reading the figures incorrectly or is what is currently posted in the article wrong for this poll?

It also says in the following ComesRes poll for October that Alba "is down one point to 1 per cent of the vote" indicating their voting percentage was higher in the prior poll, which would correspond to the figures I have given rather than what is currently stated on the Wikipedia page.

I am not generally involved in opinion polling tables, but I would suspect it has been recalculated to remove the don't knows (I just did that, and got the same results, apart from Alba (who should be on 2%) and others should be 1%. Number 5 7 20:41, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there is something here that might belong in the article then either add it or discuss it. Otherwise this is WP:NOTAFORUM. Meters (talk) 05:52, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion polling graph[edit]

Why is there a dashed line marking 5% on the regional polling graph under "opinion polling"? In some systems (e.g. Germany) there's a minimum threshold for seats, but not in Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.17.140 (talk) 15:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
