Voters think Blair should resign

Interested to see the opinion poll in today's Sunday Times and read that 55% of respondents, including 24% of Labour voters, think Tony Blair should step down now.

We've been conducting a survey canvass in marginal areas of Copeland, and we threw in the question "Do you think it would be in Britain's interests if Tony Blair were to resign now as Prime Minister?"

So far the "Yes" responses outnumber the "Don't knows" by three to two and we've hardly had any "No" responses. Not a large enough sample yet to prove anything - I shall post results here when we have rather more - but the complacent idea of some New Labour commentators that only the "Westminster Village" is bothered about the scandals surrounding Tony Blair does not match the impression I'm getting on the doorstep. People are saying that it's time for a change.
