Boris leads Ken by 12 points in latest poll
A new YouGov poll for the Evening Standard has voting intentions in the London mayoral election, with changes from the last poll carried out in late February, of JOHNSON 49%(+5), LIVINGSTONE 37%(-2), PADDICK 12%(nc).
The poll was conducted between the 12th and 14th of March, and is the first conducted since Lee Jasper's resignation. It shows Boris Johnson with 12 point lead and - it would seem - the momentum behind him. Boris has almost enough support to win on the first count, but the poll suggests Brian Paddick's second preferences would split 41-34 in Johnson's favour anyway.
Others are way don at 3%, which still seems unduly low - once the campaign proper starts and the other parties receive some coverage I would expect it to rise.
