Two Good Polls
Firstly, the news that Labour have slumped to what is claimed to be their lowest level of support since polling began - with them on 23, the Lib Dems only just behind them on 18, and the Conservatives leading on 47 [a lead of 24 points - which is larger than Labour's entire current support!].
Especially bad is that Gordon Brown’s net approval rating is the worst ever for a Prime Minister at minus 60. Even John Major only hit minus 59!
It’s a nice repeat of this poll result, although by the same pollster (YouGov) for a different newspaper. It must seem like a very long time ago to Labour supporters that “Labour jump to within three points of Tories” was a newspaper headline - yet it was only two months.
The vultures just started circling that significant amount lower, methinks.

The other good poll is relating to the race to America’s next president. Barack Obama - who expects to clinch the Democratic nomination next week - received 52% in a poll, with John McCain languishing way behind on just 15%.
It’s just that this poll was conducted across five European countries: Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia. And unfortunately, we don’t get an actual vote!
