Lib Dem conference: Day two
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has insisted he will re-double efforts to push for taxes targeting the wealthy as he starts a fightback against low personal popularity levels.
Poll finds Cable more likely to win back voters than Clegg
An opinion poll found the Liberal Democrats were more likely to win back voters lost since the 2010 election if Mr Cable replaced Nick Clegg as leader.
According to an Ipsos/MORI survey, Mr Clegg remains marginally the more popular among those who say they will back the party in 2015 by 21% to 19%.
But of all those who did so in 2010, Mr Cable (29%) is considered more than twice as attractive as Mr Clegg (13%).
Among voters as a whole he is also twice as likely to win a Lib Dem vote by 12% to 6%.
That rises to 15% among Labour voters compared with 4% for Mr Clegg.
Ipsos/MORI interviewed a representative sample of 1,006 adults across Britain by telephone between September 15-17.
