I have added an average row to the bottom of the second table. In this row we can see it has been an up-down week, ending about a percentage point down on where we began in terms of the probability of a Coalition election win.

And for the people who care about these things, the Python-pandas code for adding a row of column means is a simple one liner ...

recent = recent.append(pd.DataFrame(recent.mean().round(2), columns=['Average']).T)
