The percentage saying they would vote No was 12 per cent and 15 per cent on the care and family proposals respectively. The number saying they would not vote was 5 per cent with the margin of error estimated at 2.8 per cent. Over 50 per cent said they would vote Yes to each proposal. It is difficult to fathom how any such poll could be so far from reality.
