According to the very latest YouGov poll commissioned by the Telegraph. 60% of voters want Gordon Brown to call a general election by the autumn rather than wait until next year.
The poll sample was a MASSIVE 5000 which must make it one of the most authoritative surveys around.
Asked when the next general election should be held, 18 per cent said Brown should go to the country within the next few weeks, 42 per cent said he should wait until the autumn, and 32 per cent believe he should wait until next year.
Voting intentions for the European elections, for those who can be arsed, show there is so little between Labour, the Lib Dems and Ukip that predicting which of them will come fourth is too close to call. While the Tories are ahead on 27 per cent, Labour is on 17 per cent, Ukip on 16 per cent and the Lib Dems 15 per cent. One unassailable fact is the rise of the BNP who appear to be on target for four MEP seats in London, the North West, the West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber.
Brown's popularity has slumped to a staggeringly low 17% putting him somewhere between Myra Hindley and Ian Huntley in the 'would you let them babysit the kids' stake.
All the smart money seems to be looking to Alan Johnson plunging the dagger into Brown within a week of the Euro election results and pitching for a General Election in the Autumn.
What place in history for Brown?
Has there ever been an unelected Prime Minister who didn't lead his party into a General Election? Gordon, this could be your legacy...
