More bad news fro Gordon Brown and another poll in the News of the World has the Tory lead at 9%.Its ICM poll says

David Cameron's Conservatives are now almost as popular as Tony Blair's Labour were in 2002...a year after he won a second massive election landslide.
The poll also shows that for the first time since Labour came to power in 1997, support for the government has SLUMPED after a Budget.
