Members' Clegg ratings - nothing for the Tories to crow about

There was mention in the media on Friday of the LibDem Voice survey where Nick Clegg came lower than a few of his shadow cabinet colleagues in popularity.

What seemed to be lost in the excitement is that the same poll gave Nick Clegg a 68/29 (%age satisfied/dissatisfied) rating.

If you compare that with David Cameron well after he had settled in as leader he got a much worse 58/40 rating in a Conservative Home survey of members in July 2007.

Even if you compare the Clegg ratings now with Cameron at the same stage of his leadership (i.e seven months in) at the end of July 2006, there is a great deal of difference. Cameron was then on 74/25.
