No Thatcher effect: Tories hit record poll low despite Iron Lady death

http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2013/04/11/no-thatcher-effect-tories-hit-record-poll-low-despite-iron-l

The Conservatives' poll ratings hit an unprecedented low today, dashing hopes that the sentiments around the death of Margaret Thatcher would help boost David Cameron's popularity.

The latest YouGov survey puts the Tories at 28%, compared to 42% for Labour and 12% for the Liberal Democrats. Ukip is on 11%.

YouGov is the third polling company to report the Tories at their lowest ebb, after Opinium and TNS BMRB.

David Cameron's popularity rating is unchanged at 31% but Ed Miliband's actually climbed by two points to 22%.
