According to the exclusive esctoday.com poll this evening, Andreas Johnson should get a ticket to the Melodifestivalen final. Magnus Uggla could also get a ticket. The songs A Little Bit of Love and Kung och fosterland received the most votes when the audience in the Läkerol Arena was asked about their favourites after tonight�s rehearsal. Only Andreas Johnson managed to get more than 20% of the votes, so it seems like an open race between the other songs for the second ticket tomorrow night.

Andreas Johnson and his song A Little Bit of Love was the clear winner in our poll with as much as 52% of the votes, Veteran Magnus Uggla, who returns to the contest after 28 years came second place with 16% for the song Kung och fosterland. Sarah Dawn Finer received enough support to get a chance to move on to the Melodifestivalen final via Andra chansen (The Secound Chance round) with the ballad I Remember Love. Emilè Azar, who lives in the Gävle area and had a lot of support in the audience, also managed to attract enough votes to get a new chance in Nyköping next Saturday.

Sanna Nielsen will, if the poll turns out to be correct, receive the unlucky fifth place and will not move on in the contest. The biggest surprise in the poll was that After Dark, who finished in third place in the final 2005 with La Dolce Vita only managed to attract 4% of the votes this evening. Verona finished last in the poll with only 1% of the total votes.

The poll included a total of 262 votes.
