Why’s Boris winning the battle for LD second preferences?

The above extract is from the detailed data on the YouGov website of this week’s London Mayoral poll showing Boris 12% ahead.

What could be even more significant is the way the Brian Paddick second preferences are splitting:- Boris is winning 41% of them to Ken’s 34%.

This is very much at odds with the way many on PBC have been seeing it and the assumption has been that Ken would easily win the Paddick second preferences battle.
