No big movements in the latest Cabinet league table although George Osborne has fallen into negative territory. Last time there were slightly more Tory members who approved of his performance than disapproved. Now it's the other way round.
IDS and Gove remain the top performers in the eyes of the party grassroots. Gove's position has strengthened somewhat following the O-Levels affair.
Controversy-struck Hunt and Warsi continue to slide.
