Boris's biggest lead yet
Peter Hoskin 2:09pm
More great news for Boris today. Our Man notches up his biggest lead yet in the latest Evening Standard / YouGov poll; claiming 49 percent of first preference votes - whilst Ken languishes on 36 percent. That's a hefty advantage of 13 percent, then. When second preference votes are allocated, Boris is on 56 percent, with Ken on 44 percent.
These results tally with recent Evening Standard / YouGov polls, which have given Boris 10 and 12-point leads. But they're out of line with last week's Guardian / ICM poll, which had the two leading candidates neck-and-neck. Already Team Livingstone is whining that YouGov employs "flawed methodology". I wonder whether that's more out of hope than conviction.
