Is there any actual polling of the area to see if Binface could win?

I saw some polling that Brits would want Binface over fuckface and but I dont think that polled only those in Clacton just Brits at large.

Honestly, who knows.

It's going to be a super depressed turn out, and many of the people that would vote for Farage in a general election won't realize there's a by election on.

Then, with no major parties standing, all the anti Farage vote should unify behind count binface.

The main advantages Farage has, he's more popular in Clacton than the whole of the UK, and a lot of local voters don't know or don't care about the five million pound "gift".
