(PRLEAP.COM) LONDON – 21 July 2007 – A new poll conducted by leading online survey company Ciao Surveys has revealed that Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, is in the lead for re-election, with a nine point lead over his nearest competitor, Conservative MP Boris Johnson. 31.9% of survey respondents stated they would vote for Livingstone, compared to 22.7% for Johnson, 8.9% for independent Greg Dyke, 5.1% for independent John Bird, and 5.5% stated they would vote for any Liberal Democrat candidate.
Interestingly, when voters were asked who their second choice would be for mayor, more respondents chose Dyke than anyone else at 16%. 14.1% said any Liberal Democrat would be their second choice, followed by Johnson at 12.6%, Bird at 10.7%, and Livingstone at 10.2%.
Johnson was the overwhelming choice for the best Conservative candidate, at 35.3% compared to closest competitor Steve Norris at 10.1%. A majority of voters surveyed (68.2%) said that should Johnson win the election, they feel he should resign from his seat as MP for Henley-on-Thames.
