The Hustings event held earlier this week ran an exit poll, asking people to indicate on cards who they would vote for in the 2015 election. The County Press also ran a Web poll during the event.
It asked two questions
1. Who will you vote for in the General election
2. Has this evening’s debate changed who you will vote for?
The results were published in the CP today.
Who will you vote for?
The top result of both the combined score and each of the individual ones was Vix Lowthion of the Green Party, with Iain McKie (UKIP) a short distance behind in second place. Andrew Turner (Conservative) was quite a bit further back, in third place, with nearly half the votes of Vix Lowthion.
