Miliband drops to his lowest point in the YouGov leader ratings

November 20th, 2011

Voting intention 36/40/9

The Sunday Times poll from YouGov is just out and the VI figures of 36/40/9 show the Labour lead down to 4 but still comfortably ahead of the Tories and still in a position that would give them a majority if there was a general election tomorrow.

But, of course, there isn’t going to be an election tomorrow and some of the key measures for taking the political temperature are the regular leader ratings asking whether respondents think that Dave/Ed/Nick are doing well/badly.

As can be seen from the chart both Cameron and Clegg move up this week with Ed Miliband dropping a net 4 points.

The Labour leader’s “well figure” of 26% equals the lowest he’s seen from the firm and the net -34% has only been reached three times before.

The Nick Clegg net figure of -41% is the best he’s recorded since the poll published at the time of the Lib Dem party conference in September.

Cameron’s net of -10% is very much where he’s been since the end of June.

    Trying to “out-sad” me, Cogload?
    :)

    Brighton to Ashford (Eastbourne)
    Marlow to Maidenhead (Bourne End)
    CrossCountry trains from Southampton to the North (Reading)

    Last Tuesday when I did Bicester North (51.7 miles from London), there were points problems at High Wycombe, so the 13.07 to Birmingham went to Aylesbury, reversed there, then to Princes Risborough, and reversed again to head north on the main line! The service back to London was unaffected. But I saw that Little Kimble and Monks Risborough had single teeny platforms!

    You are taking the p1ss.

    First the Independent, then Sky, now toilet seat cover makers – he really has a weak brand image.

    ROFLMAO.

    Thanks Mrs B
    That must have been Redhill then where the reverse occurs according to Sunil. It was a good service though it stopped a lot but avoided transit London. Would certainly use it again but pay a bit more attention next time.

    Completely off topic, interesting “File on Four” on Radio 4 this evening about the failings of the coroners system regarding deaths resulting from medical mistakes and failings.

    Most interesting was the role of the Coroner in Mid Staffs in not properly reviewing deaths at the A&E at Mid Staffs and not issuing a Rule 43 ruling which would have alerted the wider authorities to the problems long before they were finally revealed.

    Much as I criticise the government on a lot of things it is good that they are proposing a real shake up of the Coroner’s system to try and get some basic standards across the board.

    Front end grip fails on Labour bandwagon?

    It’s a curious state of affairs that we have currently two party leaders affectionately known as “Call Me Dave” and “Don’t Call Me Dave”.

    I only know these things because my local station is on the Reading – Wokingham line!
    But I do like trains. Trans Siberian done (in part – Irkutsk to Khabarovsk); Rocky Mountains done. Plus the Ffestiniog railway.

    Interesting I was thinking of stations that you reverse on the same journey where other trains can pass through in the same direction to other destinations. I know Plymouth Looe areas quite well and I think they may be end of lines so automatically reverse on the next or to continue the same journey. Not sure about Fort William.

    We really should ban Sunil from talking about fecking trains…. ;-)

    Ed doing well, Ed doing badly. Perhaps he is and perhaps he isn’t. How can Labour be doing well when their leader (and pretty much all of the individual Shadow ministers) don’t seem to score well. We have Herman Cain in the US seemingly able to garner a good percentage of the vote irrespective of how strange he appears. However this to my mind takes the biscuit..

    A bit worrying that we can be most proud of a bloke that was around 500 years ago. Now I’m not saying he wasn’t a great man, but surely it must be stretching things to hang on to his coat-tails for patriotism. I regard this pretty much as irrefutable evidence that the public aren’t to be trusted with things like elections…

    (For what it’s worth I think the only item in the list that I have some pride to be connected with, albeit ridiculously tenuously, is the BBC – and I’ve posted here on many occasions in outrage at their behaviour. The only thing that I’d say has any semblance of real pride for me is that I like having a British passport – it distils everything about the past, present and future of being British into a very small symbol.)

    Rats/mice

    Horses/draft animals
    Traditional ‘table animals’ go fairly quickly, I agree.

    Last to be eaten are the rats, not because they are hard to catch or the people are squeamish.

    They just breed quickly.

    perhaps we should ask his daughter, Stephanie Flanders, to apologise?
