Nobody could honestly say the two polls released this week reeked of bias. The first, the normally left-leaning 1News-Verian poll was good news for the right. The other, the normally right-leaning Taxpayers Union-Curia poll had better news for the left. As we all know polls do bounce around, some more than others. There are many variables contributing to this, including the time the poll was conducted, the questions asked and how they were framed. To quote the late Jim Bolger: “Bugger the polls.”
