UKIP on 17% in Comres poll

The monthly Comres/Mirror voting intentions survey has revealed a big surge in support for UKIP with the party polling almost double the support of the Lib Dems.

The poll shows Labour out in front on 37% with the Conservatives down 3 points to 28%.  UKIP is up 3 points in third place with 17% and the Lib Dems are trailing on just 9%.

UKIP's support is coming from all social grades and from all parts of the country.  Even in Scotland, UKIP can expect 8% of the vote if this poll is correct which is a big increase on past performances.
