Today's (Wednesday) opinion polls are 50% (-1) - (Scan-Fact Co.), 58%(-1)-(MMI Co.) and 53(-1) - (Gallup Co.) for NO, correspondingly for YES. Numbers in parentheses are changes from yesterday's corresponding polls. The mean of those three polls is 53.7, one per cent below yesterday. This may signify a weak trend towards YES, but the NO majority is still fairly clear. A discussion has arisen about the large spread between polls. The Scan-Fact poll incorporates those who are very weakly YES and NO, while the MMI poll only counts those who say they in fact are going to vote. this means that the ScanFact poll may be to optimistic on behalf of YES, since they count persons who most likely will stay home and abstain from voting.
