Blair Poll
Interesting poll on Labour party members’ views on Blair in today’s Guardian.
According to the figures (raw data), 39% of Labour members want Blair to go before the next election… but 35% want him to continue on until the election after next. 47% say he has got it about right on policy… but 33% that the government has gone too far to the right.
‘The impression’, say the Guardian in their leader, ‘is of a party that respects its leader, rather than loves him, but is far from withdrawing its backing’. Significantly, more (55% to 30%) say they’d vote for Blair than for Brown if there were a leadership election today.
