There’s been plenty of interest in opinion polling that suggests Ed Miliband is now more popular than Cameron (or to be more precise, less unpopular). But there’s worse news in the polling for the PM, who is now seen as increasingly “out of touch”. 69% believe Cameron is out of touch, compared to just 20% who believe he’s in touch.

For someone who fought hard to establish himself as “Call me Dave”, these numbers will make grim reading.
