A Sky News poll has revealed widespread public support for many of the BNP’s policies - but less backing for the party itself.

The findings will prove worrying for all the main parties in the run-up to the local elections in nine days’ time.

The internet pollster YouGov questioned 1,841 people between last Friday and Monday.

Nearly six out of 10 - 59% - who did not know it was a BNP plan, said they would back the idea.

But among those who were told it was BNP policy, the level of support was 48% - a drop of 11% .

More than half of those surveyed agreed all immigrants should be denied the right to bring further members of their family into this country.

However, the number fell by 9% among people who were aware it was a BNP policy.
