The GE2020 choice won’t be DC or JC Last night we saw the release of the monthly ComRes phone poll for the Daily Mail showing the CON lead down 5 to 9%. There was much focus on best PM figures showing Cameron 24% ahead of the new LAB leader. One figure that stood out was that 26% of LAB voters in the survey chose Cameron rather than their new leader.
