This forecast includes polls published up to 7pm on Wednesday evening.

We expect more polls before tomorrow and we will issue two more forecasts, at 7am and 7pm tomorrow..

Forecast

  • There is preliminary evidence of a late move to the Conservatives. We will look for confirmation of this in the next 24 hours of polls.
  • The SNP are increasing their support
  • There is clear movement to the Liberal Democrats over the past few days.
  • Our last few forecasts have fluctuated between predicting two or three UKIP MPs. This forecast moves the prediction down to two as we see the UKIP vote squeezed, but this is based on the balance of probabilities that UKIP will win 2 of 4 key seats.
