Today we post the first set of results from the third annual Total Politics journalists poll.

The list was voted for by surveying MPs, lobby journalists and Total Politics readers. Journalists who appeared in last year’s list have their old positions in brackets next to their new ones.

You can find the entire list in the December issue of Total Politics magazine (out Monday), along with the breakdown of journalist preferred by different parties’ MPs, lobby journalists favourites, and readers’ favourites.
