Tories Surge In Polls

The weekend press was full of more rumours about Prescott - the latest opinion polls show just how damaging the whole affair has been for the government.
The Cameron effect is real, and his party have surged ahead of Labour by 10 points.
The latest survey puts the Tories on 41% to Labour's 31%. Cameron has been leader for six months. While the Westminster village have been sniping about his trips to glaciers and attempts at soft campaigning, it seems he has been making an impact in the country.
The poll was an Ipsos/Mori survey for The Sun. The LibDems slipped three points to 18%.
Watch out this week for more Green Tory policies: Cameron will be visiting an Ikea store as the chain announces plans to charge customers for plastic bags.
Last week Hazel Blears told the party she now chairs that the Tories are resurgent. A couple more bad months like May and they may be into government before Labour get out of the starting blocks.
