Conservative Party's Private Poll

Under the British Polling Council’s disclosure rules Populus have released the full table for the Conservative party’s private polling that was mentioned in the Telegraph this morning. The topline results, with changes from the last Populus poll, are CON 36% (+3), LAB 37% (-2), LDEM 16% (+1). It was carried out between the 25th and 28th August.

Does not look that bad at all. I do think that it is nearer the truth. People have been reasonably happy with Gordon Brown and so have given him the benefit of the doubt. Deep down everyone knows he is the other half of a team that has run government for years and so he is accountable for the problems that have arisen on his watch just as much as Blair was (and is).
