LONDON (Alliance News) - An independent inquiry is to be carried out into the accuracy of election polls after underestimates of the Conservative lead over Labour in the run up to an election that ended with an outright Conservative majority, Sky News reports Friday.
The British Polling Council, which acts as the association for opinion pollsters, will look into the causes of the "apparent bias" and make recommendations for future polls, said Sky, also quoting Chancellor George Osborne saying the pollsters would have "a big post-mortem".
