Prime Minister Gordon Brown's party is still trailing in the polls and 80 percent of Britons think his government is being dishonest about immigration, surveys showed Saturday. A poll in The Sun newspaper showed the main opposition Conservatives on 40 percent, Brown's governing Labour Party on 35 percent and the Liberal Democrats on 13 percent.
The results would produce a hung parliament if replicated in a general election, Britain's biggest-selling daily said. The Conservatives have been ahead for nearly a month after Brown, who took over from Tony Blair in June, decided against holding a snap early poll.
In a separate survey on whether the government had been honest about the true scale of immigration into Britain - a topic which flared up last week - 80 percent said it had not.
