Do you think this will accurately be a headline tomorrow?

God, I hope not. Nick as a winner would crucify the show.

From the move in the betting market over the last hour or so the opposite seems to be the reality. Nick's out to 8/1 (11% chance of winning compared to 83% chance for Sam)

Lets face it the three of them get a deal anyway so does it matter in the end who wins.

Yougov? The same poll that always show bias to Labour? I'd dismiss it right away.

God, when I read the title I thought the results had escaped early and that's what it's actually saying.

No wonder the poll shows bias to Labour. The current government, is awful, in my opinion. Make the rich richer and let everyone else suffer.

Back on topic though, it would be a big shock, if Nicholas won over Sam B, consdering Sam B is expected to win.

Bloody hell, I find Sam Bailey as charismatic as my vileda floor mop, but the thought of Frodo winning is cringeworthy.

I think they had Marcus slightly ahead of Little Mix, but saying that, the actual percentages were pretty close too.

How does YouGov collect its data? And from where? I mean, do they target a specific age group/class?

Because it's got a larger sample size than most polls - thus more accurate. Bigger sample size = more representative of viewing population as a whole.

That and it's been spot on in the past...with 2012, 2010, 2009 it's predicted the right people in the correct order and only a few percent out.

It's far more reliable than most polls.

HOWEVER, it's not been released yet so stop wishing for Nick to top it...he definitely won't.

It's split pretty much evenly between classes and ages...they put it in their polls so you can effectively see who/where is voting for who.

That's why it's so useful. It for example told us that Maloney was popular with the over 60s and James was really popular with the 25-40s. Janet was the most popular amongst the under 18s...Marcus and Maloney had a lot of support from the North. Misha was popular in London. Little Mix was more popular with girls. Amelia was more popular with boys. Very useful info.
