A survey conducted by a national polling company has predicted that the new MP for Harpenden and Berkhamsted will be a Liberal Democrat.
The poll, carried out by YouGov and published by The Daily Telegraph, is the most detailed of its kind in five years.
It predicts that, were an election to take place now, Lib Dem candidate Victoria Collins would win a narrow victory over the Conservatives.
Responding to the poll, Victoria said: “People in Harpenden and Berkhamsted deserve better and this poll shows that thousands of voters are crying out for real change.”
Nigel Gardner, the Conservative candidate for the constituency, said: “The only poll that matters is the votes of the good people of Harpenden and Berkhamsted on election day – whenever that comes.
“What is clear from this poll and on the doorsteps is that there are many people who voted Conservative in the past who are not happy with the government. And many who are undecided. I really want to try and reach out to them.”
