It has been a long time since opinion polls have given good news to the Government but this morning's ICM poll in the Guardian at least gives a small hint of a turn around
The poll, carried out over the weekend as Gordon Brown returned from his three-day visit to America, puts support for Labour on 34%, up five points from last month's Guardian poll. Conservative support, at 39%, is down three points. The Liberal Democrats, at 19%, are down two points on last month.
Interesting says the paper
Today's findings reflect a widespread public disillusionment with all three main parties, just over a week before local elections that will test Gordon Brown's authority. David Cameron has increased his lead as the nation's preferred prime minister but support for him still lags behind the Conservative party's rating.
Mike Smithson over at political betting offers a word of caution though
A rogue poll is one where you do not agree with the numbers.
