New poll suggests a tight contest in race to be Mayor

A NEW poll for the Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire election suggests a tight two-horse race.

- By IVAN MORRIS POXTON

A YouGov poll published last week put Reform UK’s Dame Andrea Jenkyns in front by a distance - 15 percentage points. But a new poll by a different organisation predicts the vote will come down to the wire as it stands.

More In Common polled more than a thousand Lincolnshire residents between April 15 and 21.

Dame Andrea remains the frontrunner, with 33 per cent of the vote. But hot on her heels - and within the poll’s margin of error to actually be in first place - is the Conservative candidate, Rob Waltham.

Labour's Jason Stockwood polled the best of the rest, at 17 per cent.

The overall poll figures can be seen below:

Reform UK - Dame Andrea Jenkyns, 33 per cent

■Conservative Party - Rob Waltham, 30 per cent

Labour Party - Jason Stockwood, 17 per cent
