The YouGov poll for the Sunday Times puts the Conservatives on 45%, up four points on last month and 13 points ahead of Labour who are down three on 32%.

The Liberal Democrats are up one on 14%.

The findings come at the end of a month dominated by the Labour proxy donor scandal, the loss of HM Revenue and Customs child benefit database, and continuing concerns about the economy.

Mr Brown's own approval rating - the difference between those who say he is doing a good job and those who say he is doing badly - has also slumped to minus 26%, down from minus 10% last month.

That compares with the 48% positive approval rating he enjoyed at the height of his post-leadership "bounce" in August.

In contrast, Tory leader David Cameron has a positive rating of 20%.

:: YouGov interviewed 1,481 electors online on December 13 and 14.
