Comres put UKIP in first place for EU elections

A ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror has UKIP in first place for May's EU elections on 30%, followed by Labour on 28%, Conservatives on 21%, the Lib Dems on 8% and the Greens on 7%. The Lib Dems have dropped 10 points since May last year.

The UKIP vote is somewhat muted for next year's general election but a strong third place as you'd expect with the Lib Dems still polling half of UKIP's vote. The gap between Labour at the top and the Conservatives in second place is closing and most people don't think Ed Miliband will be Prime Minister after the next election.
