Quizzed on whether GMB presenters Piers Morgan or Susanna Reid would make the best Prime Minister, Susanna beat Piers with 39 percent of the vote to 35 percent.
Piers may have been the more popular among Conservative voters but Susanna was much more popular with both Labour and Lib Dem-minded voters.
People said she was a broad-minded and honest person who listened to the opinions of others.

Brexit is at the forefront of most voters’ minds, although Labour voters saw it as far less important than the NHS with only 15 percent saying it was the key issue.
The overall results showed Brexit was the key topic for 34 percent of people polled, the NHS 14 percent and Economy four percent.
But there were some major distinctions along Party lines:
- Of current Conservative voters polled, 54 percent said Brexit, seven percent said NHS and seven percent said the economy was the key issue for them.
- Brexit was the key issue for 15 percent of Labour voters, 26 percent said the NHS and four percent said the economy.
- Lib Dems 60 percent Brexit, 12 percent NHS and three percent economy respectively.
