Survation show UKIP 44 points ahead in Clacton

Quick off the mark following Douglas Carswell's defection on Thusday Survation have a poll of Clacton in the Mail on Sunday that apparently shows a cracking great UKIP lead.

From the details that have been tweeted out so far the topline figures are CON 20%(-33), LAB 13%(-12), LDEM 2%(-11), UKIP 64%(+64%). We don't have dates, sample size, questions and so on yet but prima facie it's pretty unambiguous: Carswell will romp home with ease. If it does happen so convincingly expect a big impact in the national polls too from the publicity and the impact of people seeing a UKIP vote can return a UKIP MP (not to mention whatever temptations it would throw to any other potential Conservative defectors...)

UPDATE: Tabs are here, sample size 700, done on Thurs-Fri.
