People from Yorkshire famously don't like being told what to think.
So it is inevitable that many in Wakefield disagree with opinion polls that suggest Labour has a 23-point lead over the Conservatives in the June 23 by-election.

He predicts that he will win by about eight to nine percentage points, that would see him to snatch back the heartlands 'Red Wall' constituency in West Yorkshire
