With all the usual caveats about online polls of party supporters, the results of the latest Labour Home poll shows some interesting results when it comes to Gordon Brown:

How much time would you be prepared to give Gordon Brown to begin reversing Labour’s fortunes, before you would want him to step aside?

18%: He should resign now
28%: He should be given until September 2008 (conference) to turn things around
17%: He should be given until May 2009 (the Europeean & Local Elections) to turn things around
38%: He should lead the party into the next general election

I’m jiggered that it’s as high as 38%

Looks ideal for us. A majority dont want him to fight the next election, but not enough to throw him out! So he’ll limp on and on…

It’s 82% for Brown to stay just now. Only 18% want him to go. This is misreporting. What a surprise!
