Analysis

The range is tight (8-15%) with low standard deviation (2.2%), indicating strong consensus. For the market to be wrong at 15%, I would need to believe either: (1) polls are systematically underestimating D66 by 4+ seats, (2) a major scandal hits HvDH in the next month, or (3) there's a massive late surge from national momentum. None of these have specific supporting evidence. The national momentum argument is directly contradicted by the fact that D66's polling hasn't moved despite winning nationally in October 2025. The YES=0.20 toxic bucket warning applies nearby.
