Osborne least suited to becoming PM say voters

Chancellor George Osborne is believed to be the worst suited to the job of becoming prime minister according voters.

In a recent YouGov poll for The Times, voters thought that Boris Johnson, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg, Nigel Farage, and even Ed Balls were more suited to the job than Osborne, in what must be a blow to his confidence for running for Conservative party leadership.

The research was performed before the Budget earlier this month, which many have heralded as a success for the chancellor, but it looks as if being the face of continued swingeing Tory cuts to public services may have caused Osborne to have lost any support he may have had when he took office.
