"Johnson is the first choice of 42% of London voters, against 41% for Livingstone. Other candidates - including the Liberal Democrat former policeman Brian Paddick, on 10% - stand no chance of winning." The Guardian
It is claimed that the Conservative's have managed to make themselves electable again with Boris as candidate, considering in 2004 29% per of voters of first choice voters wanted Steven Norris.
"While the poll shows a narrow Johnson lead, Downing Street will be relieved that Livingstone is still in the fight. The winner is likely to be determined by the second-choice votes of Liberal Democrats and minor parties such as the Greens and BNP, whose candidates have the backing of 7% of voters in total." - The Guardian
The ICM poll rejects the YouGov poll giving Boris a 10-point lead as the first choice of London voters. |
