Boris leads London mayoral race

James Forsyth 8:14pm

Political Betting has details of a new YouGov poll which shows Boris five points ahead of Ken Livingstone at 44 percent. Livingstone’s people are reportedly claiming that their polling still has him ahead, but even here the advantage is only a couple of points. It seems that the Jasper affair and the Mayor’s bizarre behaviour are taking their toll.

Come on, James, don't get carried away. One sample of 1,000 people doesn't mean that much. But it's a start.

Red Kens post is from a survey from Ipsos-MORI, is this one of those polls paid for by the London taxayer? Or has Labour shelled oun some of their own money for a change? And salieri - come on, most polls are only 1000 or so.

Or perhaps it's Boris being ace rather than Ken being a dunce that has caused the sudden swing. I haven't seen a single positive message from the Livingstone camp. Although, admittedly being employed in the private sector, and white I am hardly his core constituency.

Saw Boris on the telly last night, the guy needs to tidy himself up. Scruffy fellow needs a haircut at the very least. I don't have a vote but this untidy blighter would not get mine if I did.

Oh come on mike. Everybody knows you're a horrid lefty. Nothing on earth would make you vote for Boris.

Mike - no-one is taken in by your bogus comment. Everyone knows Boris as a blonde bombshell - haircut indeed!
