Views on Cameron, Sarkozy}

Polling the popularity of David Cameron and Nicholas Sarkozy.

Angus Reid passes along the latest polling:

'Few adults in France are expressing positive views on their president, according to a poll by TNS-Sofres published in Le Figaro Magazine. 32 per cent of respondents have confidence in Nicolas Sarkozy to face FranceÃ¢??s problems, down seven points since October.
In addition, 37 per cent of respondents have confidence in French prime minister FranÃ§ois Fillon.
'

Across the Channel, things look better for David Cameron:

'Two-in-five Britons choose a positive word to describe the leader of the Conservative party, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 42 per cent of respondents think David Cameron is intelligent.
Conversely, 48 per cent of respondents think current prime minister Gordon Brown is out of touch, and 46 per cent deem him boring. In addition, 28 per cent of respondents consider Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg as intelligent, and 22 per cent believe he is open.
'

Personally, I think "boring" isn't necessarily a terrible quality to have in a leader.
