Ed Miliband’s speech will get him a closer in the “Best PM” ratings

Tweet The party looks set to get more behind him The one set of ratings that the Tories always throw at Ed Miliband are those below on who “would be best Prime Minister”. Here EdM has suffered because of the reluctance of many of those saying they’d vote Labour to get behind their man. My guess is that the main impact of this afternoon’s speech, in terms of the all important media narrative, will be that after two years the…

Has Miliband’s “Budget bonus” finally subsided? There’s a new telephone poll from ComRes for the Independent which has the Lib Dems moving up 3 to 15% at the expense of Labour which sees the smallest gap over the Tories since Osborne’s much-criticised March budget. On leader ratings there’s other bad news for Labour. Asked whether Mr Miliband has what it takes to be a good prime minister, 22% agree and 63% disagree. For Dave the figures are 39% and 52%…

The Ipsos-MORI Opposition leader comparison A lot has been said in the past couple of days about leader ratings and I thought this Ipsos-MORI chart was worth putting up, It shows how Ed Miliband is doing against other recent leaders of the opposition at exactly the same stage since they took over the role. The chart is self-explanatory but EdM is a touch behind Cameron at this stage in Dave’s time as opposition leader. Both were miles ahead of IDS…

When forced to choose just 31% want Ed as PM The dramatic polling news overnight from Populus had Labour move to a 15% lead over the Tories. The figures, with changes on the last survey from the pollster in July, were CON 30%(-4): LAB 45%(+5): LD 10%(-2). That’s the biggest lead we’ve seen since the election in a telephone poll where certainty to vote is one of the key determinants. On the face of it, then, seriously good news for…
