Research found 52% of voters thought he was doing a good job as Tory leader - up from 42% last month.

The party has also held on to its 14% advantage over Labour, enough to give Mr Cameron a sizeable 100-seat majority if reflected at a General Election.

Some 42% of those quizzed said they would vote Conservative, compared to 28% for Labour and 19% for the Lib Dems.

There was a crumb of comfort for Gordon Brown, as the proportion who believed he was doing a good job rose slightly from 38% to 42%.

But nearly twice as many thought Mr Cameron would make the better Prime Minister - by a margin of 42% to 22%.

YouGov interviewed 2,000 adults between October 8 and 9, after Mr Cameron delivered his keynote address to the conference in Manchester.
