I’d recommend you take a look at Grazia magazine’s new poll – ‘Women and politics survey 2008’. As you’d expect – with a title like that – all the respondents are women, and they come out broadly in favour of Cameron & Co. For instance, 33 percent would vote Tory if there was a general election tomorrow, compared to only 14 percent for Labour. And 26 percent think David Cameron will keep his promises, compared to 16 percent for Brown. And that’s before we get to which politician would ‘deliver the best performance in bed’…
There is one grain of comfort, though, for Brown. He beats Cameron on the question of “Which party leader would you call in a crisis?” (by 49 percent to 42 percent). I suspect the wording may have something to do with that – how many respondents would have thought, “Brown, obviously, because he’s Prime Minister and can get more done”? Or is it a fair reflection of Brown’s strengths and Cameron’s weaknesses? Thoughts please, CoffeeHousers…
