POLLING ANALYSIS

Whilst I have some reservations about the robustness of #MoreInCommon's polling methodology (their numbers for the West Mids don't pass the sniff test for me), overall this latest round of mayoral polls is pretty electrifying!

Mini-thread below.

MAYORAL OPINION POLLING ROUNDUP

In recent days and weeks we've seen polls for the London, West Midlands and Tees Valley regional mayoral elections. We haven't seen polls for the Merseyside, Greater Manchester, North East, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, York & North Yorkshire or the East Midlands mayoral elections.

What do the polls tell us? A thread.
