Great question. Short thread. Pollsters ask how people voted in 2014. If they find too many Yes voters compared to the real 2014 result (45% Yes), they mathematically “down-weight” those answers. If there are too few No voters, they “up-weight” those. It adjusts the result to match 2014 proportions.
