A new opinion poll has shown that Liberal Democrat candidate, Mike Treleaven can win in Totnes

The poll which was conducted by independent pollsters ICM last week asked: "If you thought that the Liberal Democrats could win in your constituency would you vote for them, not change your vote, or switch to another party?" Analysis of the results showed that the % of the votes would be as follows:

Liberal Democrat 39

Labour 31

Conservative 26

The result, according to a computer analysis by the Liberal Democrats, could mean victory for Mike Treleaven in Totnes

Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy; "This goes to show when people think the Liberal Democrats can win, the Liberal Democrats do win. In Totnes that would mean victory for Mike Treleaven. The Liberal Democrats are the real alternative in this election, and this poll shows that if everybody in Totnes who supports the Liberal Democrats' positive plans for Britain voted for us we could win here."
