More than two-thirds of the 1,500 adults quizzed by YouGov feel the surge in immigrants - 163,000 in 2008 alone - has had a negative impact on the UK.

That doesn't amount to BNP support. It's not racist or fascist, whereas Nick Griffin is.

44% aren't worried about the BNP increasing their vote via rising immigration.

So 44% of people don't think that the BNP will increase their vote due to rising immigration? That's the general trend of the question and it's quite a leading one, not very well phrased. Answering yes could mean either people don't think the BNP will increase their vote and are therefore not worried, or it could mean they do think they will increase their vote and are not worried about it, which could be because they know that the fools won't get into power or because they want them in power. Three different options for one answer - it doesn't tell us anything. Since the BNP have such a tiny support base (which is shrinking, despite what you say - they LOST votes in this year's EU elections rather than gained them, turnout just happened to be lower, allowing them to get in) I would say that the vast majority of people aren't worried because they don't think the BNP's support will rise.

80% want all illegal immigrants deported.

Well, yes. Illegal ones. The BNP want to get rid of many legal ones too, which wasn't a question.

37% think Labour's handling of immigration since 1997 has been very bad for the country.

That's a hilariously small number considering how you and those like you claim that immigration is the main issue that the majority of people think is a problem. It's clearly not. Thanks for that.

68% think the level of net immigration is too high.

Fair enough. They'll probably vote Tory.

83% think putting a cap on immigration is acceptable in limiting population growth.

Obviously.

80% think deporting more illegalls is acceptable in limiting population growth.

Again, obviously

Remember also that this is a Sun poll, so they will have targeted lorry drivers as their key demographic.

I'm changing the name of this thread because it's not accurate. The poll doesn't show increased support for the BNP.

Are they still counting the BNP's total from 2004?

Well, yes. Illegal ones.

The WOULD get shot of the illegalls, whilst Labour look for shadow's...

That's a hilariously small number considering how you and those like you claim that immigration is the main issue that the majority of people think is a problem. It's clearly not. Thanks for that.

Labour tell us immigration is under control, 37% say they're wrong, but only 0.7% voted BNP last time, huge difference.

Fair enough. They'll probably vote Tory.

Possibly, possible more than half, and of those half, half of those will have had enough of the tories failed promises come 2014/5 GE.

Remember also that this is a Sun poll, so they will have targeted lorry drivers as their key demographic.

Did yougov only ask sun readers then?

I'm changing the name of this thread because it's not accurate. The poll doesn't show increased support for the BNP.

It must be a wonder to you why the sun had a question specific to the BNP...?
