Another point is a lot of people and Labour voters in particular, liked Gordon Brown and thought until the banking/financial 'global'crisis and the recession that he had done a good job as Chancellor.
It is hard for opposition leaders to capture the top spot when in opposition,it doesn't however stop them winning elections.
Edward Heath was way behind Harold Wilson but he won the 1970 election,Margaret Thatcher was also well behind James Callaghan but she alo went on to win a general election against him.
It isn't necessarily hatred against the man Ed Miliband in these polls, it is that they don't see him as PM which often is the case with opposition leaders.
The other thing in these polls that tell a different story is that usually they say that those asked think Ed Miliband is more in touch with voters than David Cameron.
Often it is the way the questions are asked that define what answers the pollsters get.
To describe Ed Miliband as toffee nosed in comparison to this PM and most of his cabinet is for me near the joke of the year.
