What a weird statement. For one, it's not one poll, it's two. ActiveStick posted an Angus Reid poll while CliffFletcher posted an Abacus one.
And Fuzz saying that the Angus Red poll (which is broken down by region) might not bode well for translating to seats because of the distribution of the numbers, while simultaneously saying that the Abacus one (which isn't broken down by region) is hard to gauge because it's a single national number isn't inconsistent. In fact it's making the exact same point twice, that heavy regional concentration can lead to poorer vote efficiency (see the 2021 election where the Conservatives won the popular vote but lost the election).
Now you could argue that that point isn't all that relevant, but to pretend that there some sort of spin attempt or inconsistency is flat out wrong.
