<p>Tory voters prefer Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg to almost all their own Cabinet ministers, according to a new poll.</p>
<p>The Deputy Prime Minister rated below only William Hague when Conservatives were asked who they would like to take charge of the coalition if David Cameron departed abruptly.</p>
<p>Foreign Secretary Mr Hague was backed by 39% in the YouGov research for The Sun, followed by Mr Clegg on 17%.</p>
<p>No other Cabinet minister managed double figures, with Chancellor George Osborne attracting just 5%, and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Home Secretary Theresa May tied on 3%.</p>
<p>When the question was posed to voters from across parties, Mr Clegg fared even better, trailing Mr Hague by a margin of 21% to 18%.</p>
<p>The results are a glimmer of hope for Mr Clegg after a period of dismal polling for his party which has seen its backing collapse as low as 7%. The figures will fuel speculation that, while traditional Lib Dems may have been turned off by policy compromises, the party could be picking up supporters from elsewhere.</p>
<p>YouGov interviewed 1,977 adults between January 16-17. The results were weighted to reflect the population.</p>
