How does its predictive qualities stack up against straight polls of party support? (Again, genuine question -- I have no idea about how useful this poll is).
Looping in @niknanos to respond
Hiya - there is a significant body of academic thought that suggest that leaders are the human faces of parties and movements and that they are an important factor in influencing voters. We consider this a good indicator to monitor.
I don't know about predictive properties (if any) but I always find watching the gaps between support for the party and support for the leader to be interesting. It can give you a sense as to whether the leader is a drag on the party, or vice versa (though there's not much here).
