Brief edited extracts from the article in the link on the last posting to this thread:

"....the poll shows the parties are roughly back to where they were in mid-December, when Cameron’s party enjoyed a 13% lead... it also confirms that the prime minister has yet to put his troubles of the final weeks of last year behind him. With the exception of the supermarkets, who people now think offer a good deal to shoppers, there is an overwhelming sense that households are being “ripped off” across the board. A net 85% of people think they are being overcharged by energy firms, who are raising gas and electricity bills, while 76% feel the same about rail companies, who have just raised fares by up to 14.5%. Other “rip-off” groups include petrol firms, 74%; banks and financial service providers, 59%; dentists, 48%; and local government, 62%."

The Sunday Times YouGov poll also reveals that his decision to build new nuclear power stations is backed by 59% to 27% opposed. Two years ago a slight majority opposed new nuclear power stations.
