THERE are just a few hours to go until the Isle of Wight goes to the polls to choose a new MP.
Ahead of tomorrow's (Thursday) general election polls opening at 7am, the candidates have been campaigning hard to secure the support of Islanders.
According to the bookies, Conservative Bob Seely is the odds-on favourite to win the seat.
But he has seen his odds of victory slashed from 1/100 early in the contest, to 1/20 with some gambling firms.
According to the bookies, Vix Lowthion is the most likely to cause an upset, with her odds of victory shortening to between 7/1 and 16/1.
The Lib Dems and Labour have odds as low as 33/1 to win.
According to pollsters however, Labour poses the biggest threat to the Tories' 16 year Isle of Wight dominance.
Political analysis website Electoral Calculus is forecasting a Tory victory, winning close to 49% of the votes, with Labour in second, winning 24%.
Despite the bookies rating UKIP's chances of winning as low as 500/1, Electoral Calculus suggests the party could finish third.
Lord Ashcroft Polls predicts a similar result, based on surveys of voter intention, with the Tories forecast to win 49% of the votes and Labour 27%.
YouGov says forecasts of Isle of Wight voting intentions suggest the Tories will win, with Labour second and the Greens in third.
But the polling company said its predictions were based on national models and do not take into account specific local factors.
