Worst Labour performance since 1943.

An opinion poll carried out for the Mail on Sunday gave Labour the worst result since 1943.  Carried out on Thursday and Friday it gave Labour 23 % while the Conservatives got 45%. That is enough for a landslide victory if repeated at an election. This paints a bleak picture for Gordon Brown, who faces a parliamentary election due by mid-May 2010. That is not a long time for Labour to turn things around, and with one scandal following the next, it seems impossible at this point in time. Worst Labour performance since 1943.

Do we dare to hope?

Barack Obama is leading in the polls. Almost all of them. In the latest one from Zogby and C-span he is leading McCain by 6 percent; Obama has 49 to McCain’s 43. But polls by voter groups shows that McCain is trailing Obama in almost all of them.

Obama has a 17 percent lead over McCain when it comes to non partisan voters and 11 percent amongst women. Obama is also winning the men over, but his lead here is not as great as the other voter categories. It doesn’t stop there. He is winning over Catholics and Hispanic voters, and he is ahead in all age groups. McCain only has the lead in two categories; white males and the rich voters. But as the financial crises continues the latter category in on the decline. Do we dare to hope?

It was just a month ago when John McCain introduced Sarah Palin to the world outside Alaska. Early polls suggested that she could lift the Republican campaign with her youth and femininity. But Palin has failed to perform. After her very successful speech at the Republican National convention, she has almost been sheltered from the media, giving very few interviews compared to her rival, Joe Biden. Failin’ Palin
