The ICM survey for the Sunday Telegraph follows a string of polls in which Labour reduced the Conservative advantage to single figures.

It will raise a question mark over claims that a "Brown bounce" in response to the PM's handling of the economic crisis has restored Labour's fortunes after a woeful summer in which Mr Cameron's lead stretched at times to more than 20 points.

In the wake of Thursday's by-election victory at Glenrothes, some Labour MPs were even urging the Prime Minister to call an early election.

However, the poll underlines the dangers of going to the country next year, giving the Tories a comfortable lead on 43%, against 30% for Labour and 18% for the Liberal Democrats.

If repeated in a general election, the figures would give the Conservatives an 80-seat majority in the House of Commons, the Sunday Telegraph said.

In another boost for Mr Cameron, he was rated the British leader best-placed to build a new relationship with US president-elect Barack Obama, beating Mr Brown by 40% to 35%.

But Mr Brown and Chancellor Alistair Darling were rated most-trusted to steer Britain through the economic downturn.

ICM interviewed 1,005 adults by telephone on November 5 and 6.
