Brown extends lead over Cameron on economy
Monday 15th December 2008, 10:27AM GMT.
Gordon Brown’s poll lead over David Cameron on managing the economy is increasing significantly.
Some 41 per cent of respondents to an Ipsos Mori poll for the Daily Mirror said they trusted Mr Brown most to get the country out of recession compared to just 29 per cent for Mr Cameron.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg earned only seven per cent support.
The poll does not make particularly good reading for either leader, however, with the public equally split on whether Mr Brown was actually doing a good job on the economy. Forty-five per cent of people said he was doing a good job, and the same number thought he was doing a bad job.
The Tories still maintain an overall lead, with a six point gap between them and Labour.
The Tories are on 41 per cent (down two), Labour on 36 per cent (up four) and the Lib Dems are on 11 per cent.
The figures are more exaggerated than those in a ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday which put the Tories on 37 per cent and Labour on 36 per cent.
