  Trust In Blair And The BBC

  Public approval of Tony Blair's handling of the situation in Iraq has fallen in recent months with net approval ratings of -23%. Blair's Baghdad bounce was short-lived and his approval ratings are similar to those recorded by MORI just before the conflict started (-24% in 14-16 March 2003). Trust in the Prime Minister has also fallen, and he is regarded as less trustworthy than the BBC.

  How High Is Up?

  There were two psychologists who met on the street and passed a few words. 'How's your wife?', asked one. 'Compared to what?' queried the other, illustrating the point that images can't be compared in a vacuum.

  'Green Choice' Is Still A Middle Class Affair

  Recent MORI qualitative research, conducted for the National Consumer Council (NCC) has found that being environmentally friendly is much more accessible for the middle classes. Yet, people on the lowest incomes are just as willing as the better off to use more sustainable goods and services.

  Public Services and Choice Poll

  People are losing trust in Labour's ability to improve the economy and public services, according to a new survey by the MORI Social Research Institute. The general public are just as likely to trust the Conservatives to do the best job of improving the economy, education and transport in this country, as they are to trust Labour. Only a third (32%) believe that the Government's policies will improve the state of Britain's economy, and only just over a quarter (28%) believe that they will improve public services, down from 54% in 2001.

  One in 10 (eight per cent) senior managers of private and public sector organisations believe that it is not possible to foresee an 'Enron' ever happening in the UK. These are the findings of a new MORI survey commissioned by business advisors RSM Robson Rhodes.

  Votes At 16?

  This week, the Electoral Commission announced that it was beginning consultations on whether the minimum voting age in Britain should be reduced. By coincidence, this week also saw the release of a MORI survey for Nestlé UK (published as the Nestlé Family Monitor Number 16: Young People's Attitudes Towards Politics): this survey of school pupils aged 11-18 in England and Wales included questions both on attitudes to reducing the voting age and on how young people would vote if they were old enough. Sam Younger (the Chairman of the Electoral Commission) and Yvette Cooper MP (the minister responsible for electoral arrangements) were among the speakers at a Smith Institute Seminar at 11 Downing Street where the report was launched. The findings will, we hope, help to inform the debate.
