4. Sudden political events and emotional waves can change voter behaviour beyond poll predictions.
5. Converting vote share into accurate seat projections remains extremely difficult.
6. The rise of small and less-credible polling agencies increases the risk of manipulation.
7. Political parties may try to use opinion polls to shape public perception.
