Less than half of Macclesfield surveyed know who they are going to vote for
Macclesfield, and the UK will vote in the General Election on Thursday.
But according to a new survey, less than half of people know who they are going to vote for, in the polling station this Thursday.
The figures, were offered to the 350 people who reserved a ticket and attended the second and final hustings at Macclesfield's St. Michael's Church. But only 188 people answered the question.
The hustings took place at 7:30pm on Monday, at the Market Place Victorian-era church.
The survey revealed that of those surveyed, just 44.7 per cent know who they are going to vote for, just over 72 hours before we head to the polls.
Of those who did not 'definitely' know who they were going to vote for, 27.6 per cent 'possibly' did but could still be swayed.
Meanwhile, 5.21 per cent voted 'Don't know, I keep changing my mind'.
3.13 per cent of people who attended the free hustings event admitted to being undecided.
The anonymous poll was conducted again after the hustings, and received slightly different results, with 16 per cent more people now knowing who they were going to vote for. (Of 191 respondents).
Macclesfield will go to the polls on July 4 from 7am to 10pm.
The candidates are: Stephen Broadhurst (Reform UK), Dickie Fletcher (Social Democratic Party), Neil Christian (Liberal Democrats), Amanda Iremonger (Green Party), Tim Roca (Labour Party), David Rutley (Conservatives), Christopher Wellavize (Independent).
Poll results were not weighted demographically.
