Another poll slump for Brown.

Today will not be a very happy Easter Sunday for Gordon Brown, by the time he finishes reading the Sunday papers, as they do not make pretty reading. The lastest round of polls have thrown up his lowest personal rating yet, with just 28% of the public thinking that he'll make a good Prime Minister. A slump of 10 points, not what you would call a little blip.

This of course seems to be the expected reaction to the revelations that he has finally been caught with his hands in the till, with pension funds.

However, these polls are again being dismissed by Labour as mid-term jitters, and in truth they have a point. The problem is, for Gordon Brown, that for him they aren't mid-term, as for him they could have a real effect on his chances of becoming Prime Minister. After all, would you want to appoint an electoral liability as leader of your party? I wouldn't.

The chickens are finally coming home to roost for this government, the spin that has covered up their poorly thought out policies, is now as transparent as a window. Blair's insistance for a legacy is in tatters, as the electorate now don't trust his party, and especially Gordon Brown. He may have been the Chancellor for ten years, but the stealth taxes, NHS cuts, money for Education that never materialised, and the "theft" of billions of pounds of the people's pensions, will tarnish him as you seeks higher office.
