World IN BRIEF : BRITAIN : Conservatives Trail Labor in New Poll
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Britain’s opposition Labor Party leads in the opinion polls for the first time since John Major replaced Margaret Thatcher as Conservative prime minister a month ago. A poll in the Sunday Times gave Labor 45%, four points ahead of the Conservatives. Earlier polls since Thatcher stepped down gave the Tories leads of 2 to 11 points over Labor. Major, who has inherited an economy hit by inflation and entering a recession, must call a general election by mid-1992.
