Ashcroft poll shows Labour heading for big victory in Louise Mensch’s old seat

And James Delingpole yet to make an impact!

The Tory peer, Michael Ashcroft has published a second survey of Corby where a by-election will be held next month to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation on personal grounds of Louise Mensch.

    Like other Ashcroft surveys this is a high quality poll using telephone interviews and with a sample of 1,503.

    Not for Ashcroft cheapie online polls that can be carried out for a fraction of the cost.

These are the changes in vote share compared with the 2010 general election: CON 32%-10/LAB 54%+15/LD 5%-10%)/UKIP 6%/Green 1%/ BNP 1%. So a really bad poll for both coalition partners.

The lesson from by-elections going back many years is that parties get punished for having an election when the vote was not really necessary.

I would have expected both UKIP and Mr. James Delingpole to be doing better.
