I am confused.
Alex Salmond stated in a
BBC interview today that
Quote:

since November, when we launched the White Paper, the average support in all opinion polls for "Yes" has gone from 37% to 45%."
|
However, an independent site,
What Scotland Thinks, states that the latest average on the poll of polls, that the average scores of the last month's polls are Yes on 43% and No on 57%.
And in the
previous month, the average was 43%
Quote:
All in all, some ten polls have been published since the currency intervention. With today’s poll, these now include at least one from every company polling regularly during the campaign.
On average these have put the Yes side on 43%, up two points on the equivalent statistic for all those polls conducted between the beginning of January and the currency intervention. Between them they represent the best sequence of results for the Yes side yet.

And this was the best sequence so far.
So how can it be 45%, if the the last couple of months were the best so far, and they were 43%?
