In a nationally representative sample, of those interested in the Labour leadership election 30% would vote for Andy Burnham, a clear favourite. 24% of the public would vote for Jeremy Corbyn, level with Yvette Cooper (24%) and Liz Kendall (21%) bringing up the rear.

Among people who voted Labour in the last election, (but who are not necessarily registered to vote in the Labour leadership election) Andy Burnham is still the clear favourite with 36% favouring the candidate, with Jeremy Corbyn at 28% while Yvette Cooper (20%) and Liz Kendall (16%) trail significantly. However, among Liberal Democrat voters, the female candidates are favourites with Yvette Cooper in the lead.

In a week where it has been suggested Conservative voters have been joining the Labour Party in a bid to sway the leadership race in favour of Corbyn, the Research Now poll suggests that fewer than 15% of interested Conservative voters would cast 'spoiler' votes for Corbyn, far lower than the three other candidates.

Interestingly when asked to identify the Labour Leadership candidates from a selection of pictures of political leaders and celebrities, just over 10% of the public thought that the Conservative MP and Secretary for Health, Jeremy Hunt, was running for the Labour Leadership election.
