French translation: la marge la plus importante pour ce qui concerne l'économie

English term or phrase: the biggest lead on the economy
Hidden in an otherwise positive Guardian/ICM poll is the alarming fact that David Cameron and George Osborne are more trusted by the public on economic management by a margin of 40% to 22%. This is the Tory duo's **biggest lead on the economy** for two years and the trend is not in the direction Labour would want it to be a year from a general election.

Je suis perplexe sur l'interprétation de ce "biggest lead" et je ne comprends pas le "on " the economy.

J'ai pensé à "atout", mais que faire de ce "on"?

Merci de votre aide!

agree  Igor Jaramaz: oui, en effet, pourtant je pense que "... en termes de politique économique" est plus approprié pour éviter toute confusion possible
