Poll shock: Clegg is unpopular

The Independent on Sunday reports that almost 40 percent of people who voted Liberal Democrat at last year’s general election now wish that hadn’t.

In quoting a survey they commissioned, the paper states “the finding underscores Nick Clegg's unpopularity and alarm among his party's grass roots at the political direction he has taken in the Tory-led coalition.

While 54 per cent of Lib Dems are happy with their choice at the ballot box, 37 per cent, a significant proportion, have deserted Mr Clegg.

Three-quarters of all voters are satisfied with how they voted last May”

Labour leader Ed Miliband was yesterday urging disaffected Lib Dem voters to switch to him after a year of "broken promises" on tuition fees, the NHS and VAT by Clegg and his cabinet colleagues.

However the IOS/Res survey suggests that only a quarter of voters feel he is a good leader of the Labour Party whilst 38 per cent think he is rubbish as well.
