so closely to Bush.
He wouldn't listen. He's only got himself to blame...
"Blair a disappointment - voter poll
Tony Blair's time in power has been a "disappointment" and most people think he should step down at the next election, according to a poll. [the YouGov survey for the Sunday Times]
The poll appears to show how badly [edited by me] growing concern about the prospect of Britain supporting US military strikes on Iraq, have hit the Prime Minister.
Labour's rating has slumped to 40%, the lowest for some time, just seven points ahead of the Tories on 33%. The Liberal Democrats polled 20%.
In February, the ratings were Labour 47%, Tories 30%, Lib Dems 18%.
The survey also mirrors a Mori poll for next week's Time magazine which showed the majority of Britons are against military action against Iraq.
The YouGov poll shows that the British public is against such action by two to one, 59% to 31%.
One way for him to regain some of the lost ground is not to follow Bush around at every opportunity. With a bit of luck he'll consider backing away from standing "shoulder to shoulder" with George to save his career.
What will George do then?
His staunchest ally disappearing and no-one else rushing in to fill the gap (except possibly Peru!).
I expect it's about time for the President to have another Pretzel attack...
