America's PR Problem
The United States of America has a PR problem. It's not just that they are overpaid, over weight, and over here, although they are, it's that they are misunderstood.

After The March
Tony Blair's answer to the challenge posed by last weekend's peace march has been, in effect, to ask the public to trust his judgment rather than their own. Five years ago, they might have done; but many fewer are prepared to do so these days. In MORI's most recent poll on the Iraq crisis, in the third week of January, just 26% approved of the way Mr Blair was handling the current situation, and his support may have fallen further since then. Mr Blair's personal and government ratings have both fallen sharply: the MORI Political Monitor at the end of January found only 26% of the public satisfied with the way the government is running the country and 33% satisfied with the way Mr Blair is doing his job as Prime Minister - almost identical to the troughs those ratings hit immediately after the fuel crisis in September 2000.

Little Change On Euro Vote
Public opinion on the Euro has changed little since last year, with a majority still saying they would vote 'no' in a referendum on Britain joining the single European currency. Research by MORI Financial Service for Schroder Salomon Smith Barney shows 57% of people in Britain say they would vote 'no' when asked 'If there were a referendum now on whether Britain should be part of a single European currency, how would you vote?'. Three in 10 (31%) say they would vote yes and one in 10 (11%) said they did not know how they would vote.
