Sun poll spin

Millions of voters think Labour are more sleazy than the Major government according to today’s poll in the Sun.  I love the spin on this.  Out of a poll of 968 (just under the Sun’s millions) only 24% think Labour are more sleazy.  The majority (50%) think both governments are as bad as each other- this demonstrates the lack of trust in Government as a whole rather than Labour being any worse.

If you look at the trends, you can see that more people think Labour are more sleazy than 6 years ago.  Not surprising when you consider all the fuss over the Loans scandal.

The Sun then tells us that only 15% think Cameron will do any better.  True, but they forget to mention that 17% think Brown would be better.  The majority (54%) think they will be no difference.

It looks like the Sun is trying to make more out of this than they need to.
