Half those surveyed now think David Cameron is not trustworthy.
In comparison this is only 34% for Ming Campbell.
It seems that the more the public find out about Ming, the more they trust him. Since June, those answering "don't know" to the trustworthiness question for Ming have decreased by 8 points and all but one of those 8 points have converted into people who trust Ming.
Now 40% of people surveyed trust Ming - way ahead of Cameron.

Yes, your headline is correct, but look at the party support from that same opinion poll:
ReplyDeleteLiberal Democrat support
= 15% of those certain to vote
or 16% of the total sample
Look at Menzies Campbell's personal ratings. He was named by less than 10% as the leader who best understands the problems facing Britain, having the most personality and coping best in a crisis.
i.e. they haven't warmed to him as a person or rated him as a potential prime minister.
This is NOT good news!
