YouGov/S Times poll has only 34% of LAB voters thinking Ed Miliband is up to the job as party leader

Other side of coin is that less than 6 months from GE15 two recent polls, Opinium and Survation have the Tories down in the 20s.

YouGov for S Times
CON – 33% (+1)
LAB – 33% (-)
If Alan Johnson was Labour leader:
LAB – 33% (-)
CON – 31% (-1)

That YouGov only find LAB doing 2% better with Alan Johnson as leader looks quite good for EdM

CON ahead in ICM wisdom/S Tel index where sample what would the vote share be NOT how they would vote.
CON 31% LAB 30% LD 13% UKIP 16%

Oh dear. More poll woes coming for Ed Miliband in the Sunday @Telegraph tonight. Will they seal the Labour leader's fate?
