Fair point.

I should have said that two coin flips is the probability of not getting a Conservatove majority. Given the accuracy of riding by riding assessment and the polls themselves a 75% chance and an 80% are making the same statement. The error bars on that percentage are large. The general point is that it is not unlikely or a polling failure if the PCs were to not win a majority Friday

Also not accounted for is the Trend that the NDP support has been rising which is very hard to factor in into these types of models.
