LONDON, June 29: Most British voters say Prime Minister Tony Blair is no longer trustworthy, and more people want to see him quit than want him to stay on, according to a poll released on Saturday.

Blair’s ruling Labour party is running neck and neck with the opposition Conservatives on 35 percent, according to the Mori poll of 1,007 adults for the News of the World tabloid newspaper.

Half of those questioned agreed Blair was doing a good job as prime minister in difficult circumstances, but 46 percent wanted him to go while 45 percent believed he should stay.

On the question of trust, Blair was backed by 36 percent but doubted by 58 percent.

A separate survey for Friday’s Daily Telegraph newspaper found the Conservatives had overtaken Labour for the first time in 11 years.

A YouGov poll found Tory support stood at 37 percent, and Labour support at 35 percent. —AFP
