Opinion polls during conference season are as predictable as torrential rain in a British summer and you can often pick and choose from the ones that suit your purpose. So while Peter Black selectively mulls over the level of trust that voters have in the respective parties he will also need to come to terms with the outcome of a BBC Newsnight poll which reveals that over a third of those asked have never heard of Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg. To add to their problems, and according to the findings from the usual 1,056 sample, 26% of people questioned said that they thought Mr Clegg and the Liberal Democrats "represent change in politics". But this was significantly lower than the 42% who said David Cameron better met this description while 14% of the respondents named Gordon Brown and Labour.

I am really surprised that a third of voters did not know who Nick Clegg is. I suspect it is more likely that they could not identify him from his name or photograph. But that is just as bad I suppose.
