The paradox of the survey is satisfaction index went up but more people are expecting gov to perform worse than GE11.
Looking at the structure of the above chart here, it actually quite misleading.
'Govt vote will be higher or about the same as 2011'. 'Higher' and 'about the same' are actually 2 different options. I don't know if it done deliberately but merging the 2 does somehow paint a rosy picture for the govt. If we restructure it like "
gov vote will be lower or about the same', then the red portion will dominate the chart and the prospect will look bleak for the ruling party.
A more accurate way is to provide 4 options, 1.Higher votes 2. Same 3. Lower votes 4. Don't know
Another reason to doubt the accuracy 0f this survey is we don't know if leading questions were being asked. No questionnaire sample was attached to the survey report.
