26% approval.

Being the least unpopular arguably isn't the same as being popular.

Not bad for someone whose party only went on to get 12.6% of the vote. He clearly reaches out beyond his party, which the vast majority of politicians fail to do.

Wow. If you guys had presidential elections, a solid ambassadorship that resulted in better relations between UK and US would put him at the head of the pack.

What amuses me about this poll is that it implies the British public despise a spineless weasel (Clegg) more than both a lying war criminal (Blair), and a one eyed villain who sold all of our gold at rock bottom prices (Brown).

Clegg really was not very popular at all. Blair is more passionately hated by those who hate him (which is a lot of people), but Clegg has a wider dislike appeal because everyone hates a yes man. So it's probably accurate.
