England World Cup Polling

1966 and all that

We were looking around on the website of the polling organisation Survation when we came across a little curiosity of a poll commissioned by the Huffington Post and published on June 11th.

The poll asked respondents, living in England, to make a forced choice (where only one could happen) between either England winning the World Cup or Scotland voting to preserve the union.

Across all respondents there was a 50/50 split with equal numbers choosing an England World Cup win and Scotland voting No.

Interestingly, it was the South of England where there was a slim majority for preserving the union (53%) and the North of England where union preservation was in the minority (45%).

William Hill (other bookies are available) currently have Brazil as favourites to win the World Cup at 11/4 and England at 25/1. Strangely, we couldn't find the odds for Scotland winning the FIFA tournament.
