Elections
Opinion and fun commentary.
We are three large mayoral polls in now and from the start Nobby Clark has lead all three, with Toni Biddle and Marcus Lush trailing in the last two polls.
From the start Sir Tim Shadbolt has not been in the running trailing in 5th place behind Darren Ludlow.
Below I have broken down each poll result in more detail. With all three polls averaging 1,000 votes its a good indicator of what the end result might be.
1News when running their political polls survey 1,000 people.
As they say……. the only poll that counts is on the day.
