The numbers that moved.

Saved model snapshots, not election results.
A new check does not always change the model.

Latest saved model, calculated Oct 25, 2026. Changes compare the two snapshot times above. Vote movement is measured in percentage points.

The model can move because a poll was added, an older wave expired, or recency weights changed. Approval and leadership questions are stored separately and do not drive the seat model. National and regional inputs from the same survey are listed separately.

One survey can supply several measures and regional breakdowns. These cards group additions by polling firm and fieldwork/release dates; counts are measurements, not independent polls. Appearing here does not establish eligibility for the headline average.

A model snapshot is saved automatically after a successful polling update when the model changes. Duplicate checks without model changes do not create new comparisons. The latest 90 distinct snapshots are retained. Earlier model movements have not been reconstructed.

A check time is not the date of a new poll. Missing or conflicting figures stay out of the model. The experimental projection uses the current national average, eligible regional breakdowns and an official 2025 riding baseline.

Snapshot comparisons use the same model version and election baseline. A method change starts a fresh comparable sequence. Saved snapshots retain their own calculation and storage dates.

22 polling firms have a review or access limitation in their latest recorded attempt
