Of course average errors tend to oversell confidence, if we were computing a 95% CI, it'd be considerably wider... So then why all this outcry of the polls being off in Australia... A few fold. 1. the 2 party preferred polling picked the wrong "winner". 3/? — PolitiTweet.org

If you go back since 1943(!), the average error in the final week of polling between the top two parties in the first round has been about 5 points. The average was off by 5 this year https://t.co/n3BIUEd0wd — PolitiTweet.org

I have spoken about how people tend to concentrate on winners instead of margins for polling misses. That's always a bad idea. A 2 point lead could easily be a 6 pt win or just the same a 2 point loss. 4/? — PolitiTweet.org
