Boris Johnson is standing for the Conservatives, Brian Paddick is standing for the Liberal Democrats, Siân Berry is standing for the Green Party, and there will be other
A new Ipsos MORI poll for the London elections, commissioned by Unison, shows Ken Livingstone narrowly in the lead. The first preference votes, with changes from MORI's last poll of the mayoral election back in February, are JOHNSON 40%(+2), LIVINGSTONE 41%(-1), PADDICK 14%(-2). Once second
Populus's monthly poll for the Times had topline voting intentions, with changes from last month, of CON 39%(+2), LAB 33%(-1), LDEM 17%(-2). The poll was conducted between the 4th and 6th April. While Populus tend to be the pollster that produces the most favourable figures
Politicshome, which officially launches today, has up as Breaking news that the lastest poll (presumably YouGov for the Evening Standard) has Boris Johnson leading Ken Livingstone by 13 points. I'll post properly once I've seen the poll. UPDATE: The new YouGov poll for the Evening Standard

A YouGov poll for Liberty shows a high level of support for keeping the 28 day limit on holding terrorist suspects without charge if the rules are relaxed to allow the police to continue to question them. Previous polls have always shown public support for allowing the police to hold
ComRes's monthly poll for the Independent has topline voting intentions with changes from last month of CON 38%(-3), LAB 31%(+1), LDEM 17%(nc). Unlike ICM and YouGov's polls since the budget, there is no obvious Conservative leap here, in fact, their lead over Labour
