More from the YouGov/Sunday Times poll

The full tables for YouGov's Sunday Times poll are now up here.

On the regular weekly trackers of the leaders' approval, David Cameron is up slightly at plus 5 (from +2 a week ago), Ed Miliband continues downwards at minus 14 (from minus 9 a week ago), Nick Clegg remains pretty much unchanged with minus 23 (from minus 24 a week ago). YouGov also repeated a question on support for the government's policy on tuition fees, originally asked 3 weeks ago. The debate since then doesn't seem to have changed much - in November 35% of people supported the policy, that has now risen very marginally to 38%.

There were also a series of questions on Wikileaks. Asked if Wikileaks were right or wrong to publish the diplomatic cables, 37% thought it was right, 48% thought it was wrong. However, asked if the USA would be justified in prosecuting Julian Assange (for exactly what crime is not specified in the question) the position is reversed, 38% think it would be justified to prosecute him and 43% think it would not.

Finally, there were some questions on the World Cup bid, none of which are particularly surprising - British people tend to think England most deserved to host the 2018 World Cup (or rather, English respondents did. Scottish respondents were split evenly between England and Russia). 59% think the government did enough to help England win. 74% think there was probably corruption involved in FIFA's decision.
