British Prime Minister Tony Blair is on course to lead the Labour Party to a third general election victory, according to an opinion poll published today.
The YouGov poll for the Daily Telegraphnewspaper put Mr Blair ahead of Conservatives, but with a reduced lead compared to the last election in 2001.
The YouGov results tally with other opinion polls that suggest he will win a third term, despite a fall in his public trust ratings over his support for US President George W. Bush over the Iraq war.
The poll put Labour on 36 per cent, down six points from 2001, and saw the Conservatives unchanged on 33, with the Liberal Democrats up three on 22.
