Cameron + 8% (37% approve, 45% do not approve). Campbell (Lib Dim Party leader) - 2% (39% approve, 41% do not approve).
ICM say that if the above voting intentions were repeated at a General Election Labour would actually increase its majority in the House of Commons with 380 Labour MPs elected.
At 32%, the Cameron-Conservatives are on a lower share of the vote in the ICM poll than they got at the last General Election or when Iain Duncan-Smith was leader of the party (2001 - 2003).

If this trend continues could this be bad news for UKIP? Traditionaly the Tories, and their supporters, have been seen as the least EU minded of the big three. These polls point to the two strongest EU supporting parties gaining while the Cam-Cons are falling.
