Still Polling 6%
UKIP is continuing to poll 6% in this December 1st poll, a full 6 months after the European Elections.
This latest ComRes poll for the Independent shows support as follows:
Conservatives 37%
Labour 27%
Lib-Dems 20%
UKIP 6% (rounded up from 5.92%)
Green 4%
SNP 2%
BNP 1%
Plaid 1%
Other 2%
That polls have consistently had UKIP at the 5/6% mark since June indicates the support is more than just residual Euro Election bounce. I summise that the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty, added credibility of UKIP after a smashing performance in June, and Cameron’s new policy on Europe are all contributory factors.
Support for UKIP in the regions breaks down as follows:
South East 3%
Midlands 9%
North England 6%
Wales & South West 7%
Scotland 5%
Interesting the Green Party dominates among the ‘Others’ in the South East and in the AB social group. The Lib-Dems also poll well in the AB category.
Cameron beware! The Tory majority is evapourating.

Good polling for the Midlands thanks to Mike and Nikki
6% is quite good historically, but we must do better if we are to elect UKIP MPs to Westminster.
South East has let us down
The 5% figure for Scotland is good, very good. UKIP did quite well in some parts of Scotland (e.g. Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, Orkney & Shetland and Moray) and this poll indicates that our support in the North may be increasing. We are a unionist party and we MUST build on this.
For the UK as a whole, we will know we are on our way to the HoC when we are separated from the “others”; then the tomato ketchup will start to come out of the bottle!
David McD., Hopefully the SNP are not living up to what they promised to be apart from the normal Scottish independence bit! and other three parties just using the people up there as voting tools instead of doing anything for Scotland.
