MORI Political Monitor Analysis - Defence / Terrorism Hit New High As Labour And Conservatives Are Neck And Neck
The terrorist attacks in Madrid last week have had an immediate impact on British public opinion, according to MORI's latest Political Monitor. Asked unprompted to name the most important issues facing Britain today, more of the public mention defence and terrorism (41%) than any other issue. This is the first time since March 2003, then at the height of the Iraq War, that defence/terrorism has been seen as the most important issues facing the country.

MORI Political Monitor - Political Attitudes in Great Britain
MORI's latest Political Monitor shows that satisfaction with the way Tony Blair is doing his job as Prime Minister and with the Government generally has fallen since December last year.
