Public believe Iraq was an issue
New ICM pollAccording to the poll, 33% of Britons think the prime minister bears "a lot" of responsibility for the London bombings and a further 31% "a little". This is remarkable given the government's efforts to rubbish such a link. Caution must be exercised however, without knowin the exact question and breakdown it might be less interesting than it seems (ICM's questions are sometimes strange, as in the religious hatred poll on Monday). Annoying ICM appear to have gone on Summer hols with their website updating, so I can't tell.
The poll also puts Labour on 39% and the Tories on 31%, further evidence that whilst they have no leader (though as Nick reminded us yesterday nominally Michael Howard remains leader) their poll support is going to be flat.
