A new Ipsos poll, released today to coincide with Margaret Thatcher's funeral, shows that the British public prefer Margaret Thatcher over any of her successors to list Britain out of the economic crisis.
Margaret Thatcher was British Prime Minister from May 1979 to November 1990, and during that period MORI polled the opinions of the British public about her performance as Prime Minister and that of her government.
The March Ipsos Political Monitor shows that support is down for both the Labour and Conservative parties (to the Conservative's lowest for ten years), although the Labour Party's lead remains stable at 13 points ahead of the Conservatives.
As economic optimism declines, the credibility gap on economic issues between Labour and the Conservatives is closing, with the parties nearly level when it comes to which party has the best policies in this area
A week after the UK lost its cherished "AAA" rating, a new global poll released today by Ipsos finds Britons feeling distinctly queasy about the country's economic prospects.
Voting intentions based on all those expressing an opinion, from all Ipsos's and MORI's published polls since November 2002. These are NOT the "headline" voting intention figures
