The BBC updating the news?
I see that the BBC's Poll Tracker which made its triumphant return to the front page of the BBC's Politics News page just as the opinion polls started to show Labour narrowing the Conservative lead is still showing as its latest poll the 15 December ICM poll that showed Conservatives on 40%, Labour on 31%, Lib Dems on 18% and others on 11%. Oddly they have not yet updated the charts with the latest You Gov poll released overnight that shows Conservatives on 40%, Labour on 28%, Lib Dems on 18% and others on 14%. I wonder how long they will go before they feel they have to update Poll Tracker and if they will move Poll Tracker from the politics front page before or after they get around to updating Poll Tracker?

Their Poll Tracker did exactly the same thing at the time of the Labour then Tory conferences! After the Labour conference, there was a noticable rise in the Labour support, which was duly recorded by Poll Tracker.
But then after the Tory conference, Labour's support fell whilst the Tory figures rose. However this time the poll tracker got "stuck" on the Labour rise of the week before and never got updated with the Tory boost. Subsequently the page vanished of course.
