"It also helps that Ashcroft takes quite a rigorous, professional approach to analysing the polling, rather than just making the numbers fit his prejudices"
By contrast...
“Then there was Philip Gould and his focus groups…but I used to laugh at how extraordinary the confluence was between his own views and what the (focus) groups seemed to be saying.”

I wonder if Ashcroft has done any research into what the public thinks about non-taxpaying oligarchs trying to manipulate the democratic process.
P.S. I see that Mr Ed had a go about Ashcroft yesterday.
