Matthew Hooten will be a happy pollster this morning; iPredict has been shown to be the most accurate of the election forecasters.
We can't help but wonder though if the bean-counters from Fairfax will be asking some serious questions of the Sunday Star-Times editorial staff; those who tried to push the claims of the Horizon poll. All throught the campaign, Horizon polls were totally out of kilter with the rest of the public polls, and so it transpired on election day. As recently as the last few days, Horizon wsa forecasting a party vote of 33% for National.
The Left clung to Horizon as its last hope. Sadly, a margin of error of 15 percentage points was too much to overcome! Hopefully we have seen the last of the fatally-flawed Horizon poll.
