20. YouGov's "brave" attempt to predict individual seats is up

Of interest to UK DUers: Oxford West and Abingdon is marked as a Tory/Lib Dem toss-up; NE Derbyshire leans Labour, with Tories about 4 points behind. Argyll and Bute is likely SNP, with the Tories about 6 points behind, but a sizeable Lib Dem behind that. Winchester, for me, is 'likely' Tory, but very likely - 13 points in front.
I'd want to see this confirmed by other polls, first... regnaD kciN May 2017 #1

This focus on the party leader seems to be a trend in Scotland as well. Denzil_DC May 2017 #9

I'm getting nothing like that, though I'm in a seat the Tories should win, as long as they try muriel_volestrangler May 2017 #17

Electoral Calculus, although they got the overall result pretty wrong (358 Tory seats) muriel_volestrangler Jun 2017 #24
