Brown trails even further in the leadership ratings
| “Is Brown/Cameron/Clegg doing well-badly as PM/CON leader/LD leader ..” | Well | Badly | Net | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BROWN | 33% (38) | 63% (57) | -30 | -9 |
| CAMERON | 58% (50) | 36% (37) | +22 | +9 |
| CLEGG | 79% (77) | 14% (14) | +65 | +2 | YouGov Sunday Times |
Is this where “Bigotgate” is taking its toll?
YouGov has now published the full data from its Sunday Times poll so we can see the detail of what many, including myself, regard as a good guide to what will happen in the election. The key points are:-
We’ve also got the detailed data from this morning’s Guardian ICM poll which once again has a very big gap between what the published figures were and what the numbers were before the pollster applied its “Don’t know” adjustment whereby half the “votes” of those who said “don’t know” were allocated in accordance with what they did in 2005.
| Pre-adjusted ICM – May 2 | Actuals | Published |
|---|---|---|
| CONSERVATIVES | 33.6% | 33% |
| LIB DEMS | 28.3% | 28% |
| LABOUR | 25.6% | 28% |
So the five point Tory lead over Labour became eight points.
