Welcome - Croeso

The purpose of this blog is to try and give a commentary on opinion polls and elections in Wales.

Opinion Polling in Wales over the last decade can be described as sparse at best and virtually non-existent at worst.

An honourable exception must be made for Beaufort Research, who through their Omnibus Surveys have at least tried to monitor public opinion in Wales.

More recently You Gov's Welsh panel in conjunction with ITV Wales have started monthly polls which are providing a more modern (ie wieghted!) aproach to political opinion polls.

Unfortunatly other pollsters continue lumping Wales in with either the English West Country or Midlands. So well done Beaufort and You Gov and boo to the rest of you!
