His rating was also worse than the Conservatives Iain Duncan Smith and William Hague.

Yet, it's the man who will win the election in 2020... or become PM earlier by default.

Not mentioned -- three quarters of those approving of the job he is doing are Tories.

He reminds me of Michael Foot but doesn't have as much charisma. I suspect he would consider Michael Foot a bit too right wing.

Assuming that's the figure that they're using from here I read it as "too early to tell"

Interesting poll commissioned by the Evening Standard which does have a Tory political bias (25% of it is owned by DMGT - Daily Mail General Trust)

“It is our conviction that what benefits the capital benefits the rest of the country. This is a diverse city with many shades of political opinion. We respect that multiplicity of views. This paper’s view, however, is that a Conservative government under David Cameron would be in the best interests of the capital.”

I recall that the Tories suspected they might win because they were ahead in private polling
