Why is your prediction lower than most recent polls?
We take into account not just the most recent opinion polls but also the overall trajectory in recent days. At the moment the polls are indicating that there is a downward movement in support for “Yes”.
If there are more polls that show a rise in sentiment for “Yes” then our prediction may move up again.
