Cool, I wonder if it will be on the front page of the tele tomorrow?

.... but is that what he is saying or just a way to compare all the different polls?

He is my favourite election commentator - he always sounds so buoyed up and enthusiastic about what's happening on election night.

It's a calculator for seats won or lost depending on the swing one way or the other  - not a prediction.

If you click on the little down arrow on 'Custom Swing' and then on the latest Newspoll, it shows a 1.1% swing to the coalition giving them 79 seats to Labor's 69.
