New Nub News poll reveals landslide victory unlikely for Labour

Results of an exclusive Nub News Readers' poll reveal that Labour's anticipated dominance in the upcoming general election might not be as comprehensive as expected.
With warnings to Sir Kier Starmer of complacency, 29 per cent of subscribers in our towns across the country said they currently plan to vote for a Labour candidate come July 4.
This figure starkly contrasts with the 42 per vent vote share predicted for Labour by other sources, painting a picture of a much tighter and uncertain race.
However, the lower numbers Labour will still be little consolation to Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives who sit second in the poll with just 20 per cent of the votes, which would be less than half the amount they received in the 2019 election.
The Tories only narrowly edged out Nigel Farage's Reform and Sir Ed Davey's Liberal Democrats who each had 19 per cent of the vote share, taking the votes from Labour.
Specifically in Crewe and Nantwich, the results were very similar to the national picture, with Labour way out in front on almost 42 per cent.
This poll was similar to the national trend with Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, with over one quarter of the vote.
Reform's candidate, Matt Wood, achieved 25.13 per cent. Ben Fletcher of the Conservatives, came in third, receiving 16.4 per cent.
Monster Raving Loony Party's Lord Psychobilly Tractor came next with 5.56 per cent. The Green Party and the Liberal Democrats both struggled.
