Labour lead down to one point with Populus
The LDs drop to a new low with the phone pollster
There’s a new Populus phone poll out for the times that has the Tories up 2 to 39, Labour up 1 to 40 with the LDs dropping to a new low with the firm.
In other findings just 23 per cent of voters now say they trust the Labour leader and Shadow Chancellor to run the economy better, a 10 per cent drop since the last time Populus asked the question in March.
Also 80 per cent say the Government is right “to target undeserving benefit recipients and to take payments away from those who abuse or cheat the systemâ€.
The party that will be most disappointed with these numbers will be the Lib Dems – for Populus has tended to have them a bit higher than YouGov though a fair bit lower than ICM.
