Hardly collapsing odds are they. They've moved in a bit but one rogue poll isn't necessarily worth worrying about. So far the trend has been a move to remain, we'll have to see if the final polls confirm that or if this TNS poll is the start of something more worrying. I'm certainly not panicking yet as a remain supporter.

To be fair, this TNS poll has leave 5 points less ahead of Remain than their previous one did!

Or more likely they thought - leave lead of 7 on our current methodology.? We can't go with that so let's come up with a new approach that has it much closer so we don't look too different from everyone else.
It's a bit much after weeks of polling to change methodology from likely to all voters for the last poll though.
I wonder if we are going to have the exact same result as the indy ref but with Leave on 55% and Remain on 45% Many of the polls now mirror the final indy ref polls which had No in the lead. Like with that referedum, I'm thinking the olders are going to be the deciding vote.

Quite happy with myself. ”
You won't be if leave wins, and nor will your family member. You'll never have seen anything like the carnage that would follow a victory for leave on Friday morning. It will be the most extraordinary demonstration of self-harm ever witnessed by a country.
Wasn't there Sky News saying one of the polls due out today had remain 10 points ahead? Presumably that's one of the ones due out at 10PM (ComRes I'd assume).

Yep I believe so.
There's another poll coming that supposedly shows a move from leave to remain too. Hopefully accurate that rumour but who knows with social media.
I'd like to go into tomorrow knowing the vast majority of pollsters are very confident that remain will win.
