Tony Blair’s legacy

The Sun this morning has some polling from YouGov on attitudes towards Tony Blair three years after his departure. 47% of people think that Blair was a good Prime Minister, 46% that he was a bad one – probably not a bad record. On balance, people tended to think that Blair was likeable (by 57% [...]

YouGov/Sun – 43/38/11

Tonight’s YouGov voting intention has topline figures of CON 43%, LAB 38%, LDEM 11%.

Topline voting intention figures are CON 37%(-1), LAB 37%(+3), LDEM 18%(-1). This is the first time an ICM poll has shown Labour catching the Conservatives since October 2007 and the election [...]
