Which was the post poll survey that gave #AAP 6 seats? You need to sack your pollsters, they clearly stayed at home to fill questionnaires.

Notes to self for #2014 - voters will see through crude attempts to buy support with last minute populist schemes

Notes to self for #2014 big public meetings don't always mean votes but poorly attended ones definitely indicate big trouble.

Notes to self for #2014 never underestimate the underdog/newcomer with a fresh face and message.
