If the polls stay as they are and the election goes the other way, it means that polling as practiced is somehow fundamentally broken, which would be very surprising.

If there's a gradual shift in the polls, I'm not sure what that would mean. Which scenario did you have in mind?

BRexit will likely want to have a word with you.

I have a feeling that polling is used now a political weapon not a measure of reality.
