As Rob doesn’t do polls, I guess I better point out that today’s Guardian ICM poll makes the Lib Dems the most trusted party to run the NHS.

The net party ratings are:

+36 Lib Dem
+31 Labour
+30 Conservative

(Trust “a lot” or “a little” minus “do not trust at all”)

Although this seems due to people being more likely to not know whether they trust the Lib Dems and correspondingly less likely to not trust the Lib Dems at all.

i.e., It is not a positive, it is a lack of a negative (and a marginal one at that).

Stephen Tall sums up my opinion of polls better than I ever could:

I just genuinely think it’s ridiculous to hail all the polls that give you good news, and ignore all the polls that don’t. 😐
