A poll (by the Guardian) has shown that Red Ed has only 22% of people who think he would be a good Prime Minister. 63% were a definite no and the rest dont knows.

I was just going on your above information QM. I assumed the point you were making was that Boris wasn't particularly popular, at least in the mayoral election.

However, he clearly wasn't popular enough to persuade two thirds of Londoners to cast a vote of any sort and the difference between the candidates was a lot smaller than everyone expected.
