Yet another poll to report on today; one which more or less falls in line with the two released yesterday. The Ipsos MORI poll in the Mirror has the Tories on 42 percent (down 2 percentage points); Labour on 36 percent (up 4); and the Lib Dems on 11 percent (down 4). There’s also a hefty lead for Brown on the question of which party leader is best to steer the country through the recession: he’s on 41 percent, with Cameron on 29 percent.
The more the post-PBR landscape solidifies, the more questions people in the Westminster Bubble have to ask of themselves. The general view among politicos, commentators and journalists – including myself – was that the PBR and the Damian Green affair would be damaging for Labour. But the polls we’re seeing show the very opposite. It seems the public are, to some extent, buying Brown’s world-saving narrative.
