07.28: A poll has found that Baroness Thatcher is Britain's most popular prime minister since the Second World War, eclipsing even Sir Winston Churchill. She was named as the best of the 13 prime ministers since 1945 by 28% of people, the poll YouGov poll of 1,893 adults found. Sir Winston - Britain's leader during the Second World War and again from 1951 to 1955 - was in second place with 24% of the vote, and Tony Blair in third with 10%, the research for the Sun found. Lady Thatcher was regarded as a "great" or "good" prime minister by 52% of people, while 30% deemed her "poor" or "terrible." Almost half of those polled (48%) felt she left Britain economically better off, while 60% felt she left it more respected in the world. More than half (51%) believed she created more opportunities for women, but just 36% declared she left society more free, and almost half (49%) said she left a less equal society. Baroness Thatcher gladly adopted the moniker of the "Iron Lady" and 72% of those polled felt she stuck to what she believed in, with 66% saying she was a strong leader and 59% saying she was a decisive prime minister. People also voted her being elected as Britain's first female prime minister as her greatest achievement, followed by winning the Falklands War and defeating the miners' strike and limiting the power of the unions. The introduction of the hated poll tax was deemed her greatest failure, followed by her overseeing of the decline of mining and manufacturing and the privatisation of utilities such as British Telecom and British Gas. Only in Scotland did more people think her a bad prime minister than good. When asked about their overall feelings towards her, 47% of people felt Lady Thatcher's period as prime minister was good for Britain, and 36% as bad. Even in death Lady Thatcher divides the nation, with outpourings of both mourning and celebration across Britain. The Sun's poll found 50% of people back her being given a full ceremonial funeral at St Paul's Cathedral next week - the rest disagree or simply do not know what to think. 07.25: Since Lady Thatcher's death on Monday the nation has been divided over her legacy, with hundreds gathering at parties to celebrate her passing.
