Tight Gorton and Denton Byelection Leaves Voters Divided

The final day of the Gorton and Denton byelection campaign has arrived, and a new poll from Opinium suggests it is too close to call between the Green party, Labour, and Reform UK. According to the data, all three parties have a credible chance of winning this highly contested race.

The poll, conducted for Byline Times and Forward Democracy, shows a virtual dead heat amongst all voters, with the Greens and Labour both at 28% and Reform UK at 27%. However, when looking at likely voters, the Greens hold a marginal lead at 30%, with Labour and Reform UK both at 28%.

The poll suggests that tactical voting could play a crucial role in determining the outcome. Interestingly, around two-thirds (66%) of Labour and Liberal Democrat voters surveyed said they would be willing to switch to the Greens if they were the party most likely to defeat Reform UK. In contrast, only 41% of Green and Lib Dem voters said they would switch to Labour to defeat Farage's party.

This data highlights the divided nature of the electorate and the potential for strategic voting to sway the results. The Greens' ability to attract anti-Reform UK voters could give them an advantage, but Labour and Reform UK remain viable contenders in this incredibly tight race.
