I found a neat little data wrap-up on Briefing.com so I'm going to make is a new post for members, rather than crowd up the Monday post.
I took our their guess and replaced it with my own just for fun – feel free to play along at home so now we can benchmark it and see how good our guesses are:

Maybe we can put our own consensus poll out and challenge the pundits….
