The numbers show why Labour should dump Brown

There has been much talk over the past few months about Labour’s catastrophic slump and Cameron’s rise. But is it really that bad for Brown? The answer: an unequivocal yes. A quick look at MORI polling data on whether voters are satisfied or dissatisfied with the job a party leader is doing illustrates what a deep hole they are in.

Let’s start with David Cameron. MORI say he scores an impressive +21% which is the best Tory showing since Major on the 25th of May 1992 over 15 years ago when he was still enjoying his post-election honeymoon.

Nick Clegg’s score of +9 was never equalled by the Lib Dems under Ming Campbell. However Kennedy’s final score on the 15th of August 2005 was +20 showing how far the Lib Dem’s have crumbled since his departure.

Gordon Brown, however, is the one in real trouble. He clocks in at -51; the worst numbers for a Labour leader since Michael Foot in June 1983 following Labour’s landslide general election defeat.
