The longer the campaign goes on, the fewer people want to vote for him.

Once the also rans are eliminated and second preferences reassigned, the three most recent polls by any organisation show Livingstone trailing Johnson 53-47.

If Livingstone keeps turning voters off over time, it’s hard to see those numbers shifting in his direction.

Summaries of all the relevant polls, and links to the data itself, can be found at UK Polling Report.
