But having berated Barkley on accuracy in another post, I had better
correct the figures in the opinion poll, which I took down in note form. I
think I did not quite believe what I heard.


>This morning, following my post last night about Tory troubles, an opinion
poll in the Times one week away from crucial nation-wide local and regional
elections shows the Conservatives 31 points behind Labour at 27 to 58%.
Hague's rating has gone down 5 points from 31% to 26%.

Should read:

Conservative 31 percent behind Labour at 25% to 56%

Hague's rating down five points from minus 26 points to minus 31 points.

Yes, minus.
