Labour could take over in Kenilworth and Southam this July, according to the results of a Nub News poll.
The independent survey of Nub News newsletter subscribers found 24% of readers would vote for Labour's Cat Price, if the election was held today.
But the poll also indicated the seat will be hotly contested with a close four-way tussle predicted between Labour, the Conservatives, Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats.
Current MP Sir Jeremy Wright came second in the results, with 23% of the votes, a far cry from the 58% he received in the 2019 general election.
He was followed by Jenny Wilkinson of the Liberal Democrats who received 21%. This would represent a slight improvement for the party who came second locally, the last time residents went to the polls.
Meanwhile Jacqui Harris of Reform UK took 19% of the votes in the Nub News poll.
With the results indicating Labour and the Lib Dems are on course for a similar share of the votes at 2019, it appears Reform could steal a large amount of the votes from the Tories in Kenilworth and Southam.
Results also indicated Official Monster Raving Loony Party candidate Nick Blunderbuss Green could snap up 4% - which would be a significant uptake from five years ago where he received less than 1% of the vote share.
If he were to receive that many, it would be significantly more than the 1,500 votes he is aiming to receive.
