The Constituency by constituency poll that forecast a Tory majority of 20 or so had a hung parliament and a much larger majority within its margin of error.

Yougov MRP wasn't bad - https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-repo... - underestimated the Tories & SNP and overestimated Labour, but correctly predicted a lot of the shocks.

The first MRP poll at the end of November was scarily close....cannot find it now as the later less accurate one seems to have taken its place...
