Episode 7 of 10

What polls can tell us. And what they can’t.

Understand the UK Election is a simple 10-part guide to everything that is going on in the election, with Adam Fleming.

In this episode, what do polls actually tell us? What can we learn when the polls get it wrong? And do people really tell the truth about who they are intending to vote for?

This episode was hosted Adam Fleming, from Newscast and AntiSocial, with Professor Jane Green, Director of the Nuffield Politics Research Centre at Oxford University, co-director of the British Election Study and President of the British Polling Council.
