The poll in today's Sun puts support for the parties nationally at:
Conservatives 42%
Labour 32%
Liberal Dims 15%
'Others' 11%
1006 adults were interviewed by pollster IPSOS on 9th/10th January, 2008.
The poll is not good news for the europhile Liberal Dims  - they would have been hoping for an electoral boost having just picked a new leader. |
Hip Hip horay the Lib Dems are still down.
Good to see the others on 11%
In 1979 Callaghan was personally more popular that Mrs Thatcher but the Torys still won, I am sure Cameron hopes he can achieve similar leads in the polls throughout this year to keep the government on the back foot and to give the impression to people that he can win.
