Poll shows Brown in slump
2008-08-01
Prime Minister Gordon Brown's popularity has slumped to a record low, but a change in leader will not help the ruling Labour Party win the next election, according to an opinion poll published on Friday.

A YouGov poll in The Daily Telegraph said only 15 percent of people questioned believed Brown was "up to the job".

It said this was the lowest approval rating for a prime minister since John Major in 1995, two years before his Conservative government suffered a crushing election defeat that has ushered in 11 years of Labour rule.

#3  Bad color, I was one of the first to notice. I don't know how I do it, reflex from years of trainning I figure.

Just wanted to be on record that I was correct again.

#2  He deserves to go . No brainer , since he has taken power (unelected) he has been inept in every department. At least Tony has cahooners . Millibrand , good lord no thanks , Harmon , eeek nightmare .

The downside is , theres nothing on the plate to offer instead of Labour . And noone in the Labour party with the skills to take the top job .

#1  London was abuzz about the future of Brown. He is in the proverbial dumps and the Tories smell blood. Even his cabinet are taking more risk promoting themselves especially Milband and Harmon. Seems to me that he will be forced to call an early election to test his strength which is pretty tentative at present.
