Indeed, but that's not bias.

If we were in the middle of a good spell there would be no point in holding a poll...at least not unless we were seeing lots of calls for his head! The point of the timing of the poll is that people ARE calling for him to go, and so you poll people at that point to see how representative those calls are.

Not suggesting this is a perfect way to get am idea of what supporters think, but there is nothing wrong with the timing.
