The Chancellor trails 19-29 on who would make the best PM

According to Iain Dale an NOP telephone poll for tomorrow’s Sunday Edition programme on ITV found shares of Cameron 29: Brown 19: Campbell 5 when respondents were asked to say who would make the “best Prime Minister”.

A striking feature of the poll is the very high level of don’t knows or refusers – getting on for half of those who took part.

When asked who “had the freshest ideas” Cameron was beating Brown by 39-17. But to a question on national security Brown was beating Cameron by 22-21%.

I do not know whether a voting intention question was asked and further details might appear over the weekend. I am expecting at least one full poll in the papers tomorrow.
