"David Cameron is given a warning of the threat posed by the rise of the United Kingdom Independence Party as he enters a critical phase in the life of his government."

on immigration by 62 per cent to 34 per cent, 
on state spending by 64 per cent to 28 and 
on same-sex marriage by 51 per cent to 39. 

On leadership, among all voters the Prime Minister is seen as a better party leader than Mr Farage by 33 per cent to 29 per cent but the Ukip leader is the favourite — by 37 per cent to 32 per cent — among the Conservative-Ukip “switchers”." via Free Republic
