Yeah, I have the same feeling. The ingredients are all there for Erdogan to lose, but he will probably win again with relative ease. Not sure, however, if AKP will hold on to their absolute majority in Parliament.

I was looking at the election's wikipedia page and noticed that Erdogan's current governing partner the nut job ultranationalist MHP has been polling below the 7% threshold in most recent polls. That would probably doom Erdogan.

The electoral system was changed in 2018 so that individual parties within electoral alliances are not subject to the national threshold. AKP and MHP are running together as "People's Alliance" so the threshold won't be an issue.
