New polling from Ipsos MORI shows Ed Miliband is still to convince the public of his own qualities, despite presiding over the most popular party. Just three in ten (31%) of Britons say they like Mr Miliband - effectively level with Nick Clegg on 33% and Nigel Farage on 32% - but 63% say they dislike him. David Cameron stands out as the most popular of the leaders, with just under half (48%) liking him.
