Labour have now edged ahead of the Lib Dems in the polls. OK, so Labour are still a long way behind Benyon in what is now the forth most Conservative parliamentary constituency, but if you're thinking about voting tactically to keep the Tories out then Labour is now the party to vote for in Newbury.

In a Lib Dem leaflet I received yesterday it said Judith Bunting was ahead of the Conservatives in a local poll. I can't remember the source but it might have been something to do with NWN. Can anyone else confirm the leaflet did indeed purport that to be the case, and advise where exactly the poll was conducted and how many were polled?

It's here.
Lib Dem 43%
Conservative 28%
Labour 11%
Green 5%
UKIP 3%
Won't be voting 2%
Dave Yates 1%
Not elligable t vote 1%

And yes, that's what the leaflet said (didn't check the numbers, but that was the thrust of it).

I voted first time round, and it just let me vote again, so I don't know the mechanism but it looks like multiple votes are possible.

Electoral Calculus currently have
Conservative 68%
Labour 15%
Lib Dem 14%
Green 2%
Dave Yates 1%

We'll soon see.

No Simon. That poll doesn't mention either Dave Yates or the Apolitical Democrats as an option - which is a complete swizz!

I agree Charlie, it should have entioned Dave Yates by name, but as there's only one independent candidate I thought is was reasonable to put Dave's name against it.
