LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour Party has fallen 22 points behind the Conservatives with less than a year to go before a parliamentary election, an opinion poll said Friday.
The Conservatives were down one point from last month on 40 percent with Labour down 10 points on 18, according to the survey for research company Ipsos MORI.
Dissatisfaction with the government has reached the same low as during "Black Wednesday," the day in September 1992 when Britain crashed out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism after a dramatic run on the pound.
Brown reshuffled his cabinet Friday after a wave of ministerial resignations dealt a blow to his leadership. He also saw his personal ratings fall.
Seven out of 10 of those polled were dissatisfied with his performance as prime minister, while more than three-quarters were unhappy with the government's record, the poll found.
Brown has steadily lost support due to a scandal over MPs' attempts to claim taxpayers' money for everything from swimming pool repairs to new televisions and bath plugs.
With Britain in its worst recession since the war, the expenses row has damaged both the government and the two main opposition parties, whose members also made claims.
Conservative leader David Cameron's ratings fell over the last month: more than a third of those polled were dissatisfied with him (35 percent), up from 29 percent.
Brown must hold a parliamentary election by June 2010. In power since 1997, Labour has a working majority of 63 seats in the lower house of parliament. * Ipsos MORI interviewed 1,001 adults by telephone between May 29 and May 31.
