The poll puts the "resurgent" Greens on 11% - and ahead of UKIP on 10%.


The ICM poll comes hot on the heels of a Populus poll in the Times giving the Greens 10%.

In total, SIX polls in the last 2 weeks (including a new YouGov poll in the Daily Telegraph today) have consistently given the Greens between 9% and 11% national vote share for the European elections, enough to make several gains under the broadly proportional voting system used, including here in Eastern region. The level of support predicted for a nationwide election is unprecedented. At the last European elections in 2004, the Greens got about 6% of the vote across the UK but with polls under-predicting the actual result.
