From 20th April to 13th May ComRes asked 47 Conservative MPs to "write in the name of your favourite blog covering politics in the UK"...
- 15 said ConservativeHome
- 9 said Guido Fawkes
- 7 said Iain Dale
- 1 said PoliticalBetting
- 1 said Dan Hannan.
- The balance declined to answer.
Not a huge sample but a clear first-past-the-post victory!
ConHome has just completed a survey of Tory candidates in Tory-held and Tory target seats. The results are fascinating. Halfway through the answers I added a question about the blogs they read. The answers show another victory for ConHome and a strong showing for PoliticalBetting:
65 of 66 candidates said they read ConHome.
29 read Political Betting... 28 read Iain Dale's Diary... 24 read Guido Fawkes... 17 read Coffee House.
