ICM Poll of Sheffield Hallam With Candidates Named (Changes on Above)

Labour 35% (+1%)

When the candidates are not named Labour are slightly ahead, although the Liberal Democrats hold up reasonably well. When the candidates are named Labour, UKIP and the Green Party remain pretty much unchanged, but a substantial proportion of Conservative voters switch to the Liberal Democrats. It is possible that Conservative voters have noticed a strong Labour presence in the area and as a result are switching to the Liberal Democrats to prevent the seat falling to Labour.

Will Nick Clegg hold on? Luckily we only have to wait a few more days to find out.
