The Conservatives dropping below 30%, the rest of the poll was not too good for the Conservatives. (Lab 40, Cons 29, LibDems 11, Other, 20)
David Cameron’s approval rating is down to minus 31 (from minus 23 a week ago), this is the first time it has dropped below minus 30.
On the economy questions there is a clear negative impact from the return to recession. The proportion of people who think their finances will get better minus those that think it will get worse is minus 49, the lowest since the end of last year.
The proportion of people thinking that the government is managing the economy well is down 5 points to 26%, the first time it has fallen below 30.
Asked why they think the economy is back in recession 32% blame the government the most (including a majority of Labour voters), 29% blame the Eurozone crisis the most (the most popular answer amongst Conservative voters), 17% blame the last government the most.
