Brown is 'less popular than Foot'

08:36 - 30-May-2008

Gordon Brown's popularity among voters is the same as Sir John Major's at his lowest point and worse than Michael Foot.

A new poll puts Labour on 23 points - lower than during Mr Foot's reign as leader.

The YouGov poll puts the Conservatives on 47 - a lead of 24 points.

Reports said the poll - the first since Mr Brown's Crewe and Nantwich by-election drubbing - puts Labour on its lowest level of support since Gallup first asked people to declare their voting intention in 1943.

In the last month Labour has fallen three points and the Conservatives have risen three points. The Liberal Democrats are on 18 points.

When asked who would make the best Prime Minister, 39% of people polled said Tory leader David Cameron, a rise of 7% on last month. Mr Brown's rating fell 2% from April to 17%.

Only 15% of those surveyed were satisfied with Mr Brown - the same as during the worst years of the Major administration in the early 1990s.
