But does the hung scenario look odds on.
Opinion polls mean nothing...You've only got to look at Major's election win in '92.
Think i've said before, but some advice on opinion polls i was given which is pretty sound. Instead of looking at all the different polls, pick one company and follow it day-by-day to the election. That will give you an accurate trend of how people's views are changing (because while each company measures it differently, each company uses the same sample for it's own polls) if not necessarily the correct figures. The trend will tell you more than anything in this election because it will tell you which way the swing voters are swinging. In 1992 on the last day the swing to Tories was confirmed if you did this and people could have picked up a fortune.

Yes, and in addition to that, if you want to know what the numbers actually are, take an average of all the polls (the poll-of-polls), that gets pretty close.
