Asked who they would support in a general election, only 22 per cent of voters back Labour, with the party slumping behind the Conservatives on 40 per cent and the Liberal Democrats who are on 25 per cent.
Asked about the European elections Labour was again in third place with 17% behind the Conservatives on 29% and The Liberal Democrats on 20%. UKIP with 10% was beaten into fifth place by the Greens who polled 11%.
