The Labour Party lags 16 points behind the Conservatives and only just ahead of the country's third party, according to an opinion poll in the Sunday Telegraph.
The ICM poll gives Prime Minister Gordon Brown's party 26 percent, well behind the Conservatives' 42 percent but ahead of the Liberal Democrats' 21 percent.
It said it was the lowest rating recorded for Labour in any ICM poll and it comes just ahead of a security vote on Wednesday in parliament that Brown is in serious danger of losing.
The paper noted that when Brown took over from Tony Blair last June, Labour had a poll rating of 40 percent.
It remains to be seen if the Tories can be seen in a positive light themselves, but, as of today, they have to like there chances going forward.
