ComRes has us with a Tory majority of 6 on uniform swing. Things may be tight enough that the toss ups in Norn Irn may come into play. DUP do not want the current Boris deal and most Labour leave rebels are out the equation. 

Of some interest, women show the greatest Labour lean and the greatest "dont know". 

Couple of more polls to come apparently. 

Look at the UK Polling Report website - http://ukpollingreport.co.uk.

Savanta ComRes have been getting the lower than average Tory vote/lead during the campaign. Opinium and Survation have best recent records.

More polls have come in and the average is  44% Conservative, 33% Labour, 12% Lib Dem, 3% Brexit.

Remember that the margin of error is 3%.

The pollsters significantly under-estimated the Labour vote in 2017 in the last week - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2017_United_Kingdom_general_election#2017.

Just wait for the BBC exit poll tomorrow.

Well all we can hope for is a systematic error. A failure to account for younger turnout or a late breaking demographic not picked up by the polling. Uncertainty breaks both ways, and all pollsters have said this is a difficult election to call for a lot of reasons. 

On about the 31st of October a lot of people seemed a lot more confident, forgetting what an appalling campaign May ran. The Tories know their business, they know how to sell a message and target demographics. Waving around some things you like and assuming everyone else will as well is not really got a good track record in  terms of modern elections.

3.1% in 2017 -  suggests several SNP gains, especially from the Tories.
ETA - and bad news for Swinson!

Swinson
Sweeney
And at a push Jack

Would be phenomenal.

Fluffy Snackbeard would be pushing it though.
