#scotcen — Public Fediverse posts

There I was, looking for a small prediction project. How about dabbling with Scottish referendum polls?

My enthusiasm was quickly reduced when I noticed a few days ago that #ScotCen's data were less than optimally curated (dates & pollsters in the same cell? 🤷 👇 ).

But I now found that they also don't provide sample sizes for the polls either.

(Nor any of the results presented by commercial platforms. But that's their prerogative, I guess.)

The "What Scotland Thinks" page provides a useful collection of #OpinionPoll results.

But who thought it was a good idea to enter the date of the poll and the pollster in the same data field?

This is also the case for downloaded data. At least they are separated by a consistent character.
