Ed Miliband's dreams of Prime Minister seem to be slowly slipping away as a new YouGov survey has revealed that he is less popular the Nick Clegg.

The poll - which was done by YouGov for The Sunday Times - showed that Miliband's popularity was at a record low as 73% of voters believed that he was doing a poor job in opposition.

Only 18% believed that the Labour leader was doing a good job in his role. His overall approval rating was down -55.

Hard to believe for many, but this has put his just behind Clegg - who was on -54.

The new survey makes poor reading for all three of the major party leaders - while Cameron came out on top, he did have an approval rating of -14.

54% believe that the Prime Minister is going a good job, with 40% think that he is doing well in Downing Street.

If we went to the polls right now, it seems unlikely that Miliband would be able to beat Cameron to Prime Minister as he is struggling to win support of Labour voters.

The YouGov poll showed that he had an overall support of just 32% - the lowest since he took over leadership of the party back in 2010.

Miliband has struggled to overcome a series of gaffes in recent weeks - forgetting major chunks of his speech at the Labour Party conference being one that really stands out.

Labour is also continuing to struggle in Scotland - which has normally been a stronghold for the party.

I don't mind revealing that I have been a Labour voter at the last two general elections, but I have to admit, that if we were to vote today, I would struggle to support Miliband.

I just don't see him as a Prime Minister. He gives the impression that he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag let alone fight for what is right for this country.

I have never cared for Miliband - I am sure he is a very nice chap - but I don't think he is Labour leader material let alone the right man for Prime Minister.

However, I certainly would not go out and vote Tory, Lib Dem, or UKIP instead. Let's face it they are all a bunch of clowns, who cannot be trusted with running this country.

Having said all of that, six months is a long time in politics and who knows where all of the parties and leaders will stand as we go into the election.
