More from the YouGov/Sunday Times poll

The full tables for the YouGov/Sunday Times poll are up here.

On tax and spending the YouGov/Sunday Times poll found more people trusted the Conservatives than Labour to cut spending without damaging services (though it was quite a small lead - far more people trusted neither). A substantial majority (60%) said they would rather the deficit was addressed by cutting public spending rather than tax increases (21%).

Respondents were pretty evenly divided over whether David Cameron's proposals to cut the cost of Parliament were a good thing or just a gimmick, but the individual proposals were all supported by a majority of respondents.

The poll also asked about the al-Megrahi release, looking at how it has affected opinions of Gordon Brown and Britain's wider relationship with Libya. 43% of respondetns said Brown's dealings with Libya has lessened their opinion of him. These were mainly Tory voters, presumably confirming an already negative opinion of Brown, but it did include 22% of Labour supporters.

Regarding Britain's wider relationship with Libya, 51% of people agreed with the statement that the government had been "timid and cowardly", with 21% instead saying it was right for the government "to take Britain's wider interests, including trade, into account". 68% said the government should have pressed harder to secure the deportation of Yvonne Fletcher's killer.

Finally YouGov asked what people thought the chances are of England winning the Football World Cup next year. 6% thought they had an excellent chance, 43% a good one. 12% said their chances were hopeless.

(Third part of my pre-conference round up coming up later, plus I'll look at the Policy Exchange poll when I've seen some more details.)
