Communicating Poverty
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation's Public Interest in Poverty Issues programme (PiPi) aims to secure and strengthen public support for alleviating poverty in the UK. This research project informed the programme through two stages of qualitative research. The first involved an evaluation of existing public attitudes to UK poverty, and the second employed a more creative approach to identify messages which might resonate with the public on the issue and thereby generate a more favourable climate of opinion for anti-poverty policies.

Majority Support In Parliament For Replacement Nuclear Plants
Research by Ipsos among British MPs this Summer has shown a major boost to the acceptability of building replacement nuclear power stations. Sixty-one percent of MPs now support this; up 16 points since Summer 2005. Within this, the most notable change is the growth in support among Labour MPs: up 22 points to 60%. There is a sense this support is a little reluctant — just 44% are actually favourable towards nuclear energy — but it is sustained by a feeling there is no real alternative, given the need for limiting carbon emissions.

Cancer - A Public Priority?
Findings from an Ipsos survey on behalf Cancerbackup are unambiguous in showing that cancer is a key public priority, both in absolute terms, and compared with other illnesses and diseases. Cancer has remained the top national health priority among the general public since 2003 [note 1], and its importance as a health concern overshadows public concern for other illnesses and diseases. The question asked the public, without any prompting, which, if any, illness or diseases they think should be a national health priority.

What The Public Thinks Of The Party Leaders (And The Leader-In-Waiting)
The public's detailed image of the Prime Minister has deteriorated significantly in the last 18 months, analysis of data from the Ipsos Political Monitor shows; but while Gordon Brown's image is better, it shares many of the most negative characteristics of Mr Blair's. The poll, conducted at the start of September (before the recent public falling out over the Prime Minister's retirement date) finds that Mr Brown, like Mr Blair, is primarily seen as out of touch, though the public also admit that he has sound judgment, a description they are reluctant to apply to Tony Blair, and many more people describe him as inflexible, tending to talk down to people and narrow minded than have the same impression of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat leaders.
