Tories ahead but doubt over Cameron

The Tories have re-established their double-digit lead over Labour but voters remain concerned about what David Cameron "is like underneath", according to a poll for a Sunday newspaper.

The latest ComRes survey suggested the Conservatives were pulling away again after labour narrowed the gap.

In little more than a week, support for the Tories increased by two percentage points, to 40 per cent, while backing for Labour fell two, to 29 per cent. The Liberal Democrats were up two, on 21 per cent.

That gave the Tories an 11-point lead, up on the last ComRes poll on February 2 suggesting Labour had closed the gap to just seven points.

The latest survey revealed voter scepticism about Conservative leader David Cameron with 56 per cent agreeing he was a "slick salesman" and worrying about "what he is like underneath".
