Thursday, August 15th, 2013
A growing proportion of the public have faith in George Osborne and David Cameron’s ability to handle the nation’s finances, an opinion poll found in a fresh blow to the Opposition.
The ICM survey showed 40% of voters had confidence in the Conservative Chancellor and Prime Minister on the key issue of the economy, up from just 28% in June amid signs of a growing economic recovery.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and Labour Leader Ed Miliband were well behind on 24%. ICM Research interviewed a random sample of adults by telephone between August 9 and 11.
