Seems there is a Cambourne and Redruth poll out showing UKIP 33% (+28%) Con 30% (-7%), LAB 22% (+ 6) Green 7% (+5%) LibDem 6% (-31%) Others 1% (-1%)
Update - apparently it's a Survation Poll

It isn't about Julia Goldsworthy, it is about the general state of the Lib Dems in the constituency. They have gone from impressive fighting force to minor local party status since 2010. It is the remarkable fact for this part of Cornwall.

It is the remarkable fact for this part of Cornwall. "This part of Cornwall" that you refer to really should be Labour heartland. The truly remarkable fact was the huge slipping away of the Labour vote in 2010 in a constituency boundary that could almost have been drawn by them.

Maybe it should be, but it hasn't actually been so since the 1960s. Nor is it particularly remarkable that a Lib Dem incumbent managed to squeeze the Labour vote.

Falmouth & Cambourne was Labour-held 1997 to 2005.

I could just about believe Labour were only 12% ahead of UKIP in a generic Doncaster N poll - but not with Tory support higher than in 2010.
That figure alone makes it suspect.

The only thing that could cause that would be a significant negative personal vote for EM. I share your scepticism though. It seems unlikely.

Generally good for the Lib Dems, especially leading in Yardley, and only 2 behind the Tories in Watford (labour third)
Clegg is a bit close for comfort, and we are behind in North Devon (by 1 point, should pull through) and in Portsmouth South (by 5 points, disappointing but not surprising giving the ongoing saga plus good UKIP scores - we seem well organised here though, so may be able to salvage something).

I'm not a big fan of these polls because people might start voting according to what the polls might or might not be indicating instead of according to their previous choice of party/candidate.

A little disappointed not to see either Bristol West or Leeds NW polled

Falmouth & Cambourne was Labour-held 1997 to 2005. Yes, but so was Enfield Southgate. Won by Labour in the past is not the same thing as Labour heartland.
