While Labour continues to have problems with leader ratings Dave should be worried about how his party is perceived
The above netted off figures are based on these more detailed numbers.
There were, as it turned out only two polls overnight, and the findings that I am highlighting are the party and leader favourability figures from Survation for the Mail on Sunday.
- These show, I’d suggest, the biggest challenges facing both the blue and red teams just 21 months before GE2015. Labour’s weak link is its leader while the big drag on Cameron is the Conservative party itself.
These findings are very much in line with other polling questions that have sought to treat parties and leaders with the same format.
It should be noted that you cannot make direct comparisons with voting intention figures which are netted off to exclude the don’t knows and won’t say.
The latest voting figures from both firms show no change on previous surveys between the Tories and Labour.
