Well on their Twitter account the author has acknowledged Labour needs to do better with leave voters than at present to have any hope of a repeat  Tbf Labour are doing as well with Leave voters as the Tories are with Remain voters. But they only win 1/2 Remain voters compared to the Tories winning 3/4 of Leave voters. |

And indeed in 2015 the exit poll didn't predict an outright Tory majority? No, but a few results in - and Sir John's bit about them being cautious on it being a hung parliament or majority - suggested the way the wind was blowing. Of course, the exit poll suggested a second Green seat in Norwich too!
Weirdly, the memory cheats. I was watching the election night coverage of 2015 yesterday from the Beeb and my memory was it had far more on screen declarations than usual. In fact, its less than 2005!
Of course it was the election in between - 2010 - when the BBC's coverage really went to s***. |

Some polls have tories on 3/4 of leave vote which seems unlikely

The 2010 coverage had the voyage of the damned itself in that election boat. Why have stats and declarations when you can have Joan Collins waffling drunkenly about David Cameron?  |

Who was most accurate in 2017? Tie between Survation (C +1) and SurveyMonkey (C +4) acc'd to wikipedia.

Ok so Survation’s final poll is yet to come. |

The 2017 Survation poll was done by telephone rather than online, and methodology will have changed. We can't assume it will be the most accurate this time. In 2015, Survation had an unpublished telephone poll that was also the most accurate, closely followed by ComRes. Their 2015 online poll was the least accurate for that election.
We simply can't know which will be the most accurate until Friday morning.

Anthony Wells is getting rather exercised about a poll due for release - any ideas what it is about?

page 19 seemed to hint it might be at least a semi 'voodoo poll' |

The figures are startling - 99.7% is beyond voodoo poll territory. Nonetheless, it has obviously served to give some women an opportunity to share accounts of awful assaults that they have suffered. It is more of a social study than anything approaching an accurate survey. |

How will Cummings affect the polls? My thoughts are a few points at best.
Though Yougov and the other pollsters are painting two different pictures of what's happening at the moment. Recent ones give the Conservatives a 9-11 point lead (bad for Labour) apart from Yougov with their 18 point one (absolutely awful for Labour).
