Pretty sure the Yes side has never been above 50% in the poll, and it's support has collapsed in the last few weeks as all the details are coming out. It had like a 10 point lead, and now it's just over 5%. And we still have the Feds coming up short on their contribution to depress the Yes support even more (FYI the IOC announced today no more money will be given to Calgary for the bid). No doubt the No side is louder, but the Yes side has simply done a very poor job of making their case. In fact, they've really made no case whatsoever other than "Trust us, it'll go fine because....1988....or some such ####". Maybe the Yes side has tons of quiet support, but given the town hall "votes" have been one way traffic against the bid, it's more likely people simply don't want this.
