Yesterday's Mirror/Survation poll shows the highest projected share of the vote yet for Ukip - a whopping 23%. If the results are reflected at the polls in May, UKIP could get at least 16 seats in Parliament.

Projected seats via May 2015, using Electoral Calculus' Strong Transition.

We have ventured to find out more about the people that are pushing Nigel Farage's party at the top of the polls.

1. They have grown impressively in the past month

2. They want to enter in a coalition with the Tories

3. They blame the Conservatives more than Labour for the NHS crisis

The overwhelming majority of UKIP supporters (92%) believe the NHS is facing a crisis - far more than Conservative (71%) and Labour voters (80%).

Among those who agree that there is a crisis in our health system, under a third (31%) of UKIP voters say the previous Labour Government is the number one cause behind it. 41% of say the current coalition is to blame. And yet they want to enter in a coalition with them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4. They are focused on immigration - and not much else

5. They don't trust their party on the economy and other crucial issues

Only 38% of UKIP supporters trust UKIP on the economy. Even fewer trust them on the NHS (30.5%), Education (34%) and welfare (just 29%).

They do a bit better with crime - with 42.5% saying they trust the party.

But 90% trust the party wholeheartedly when it comes to immigration. Europe did not feature among the questions but we reckon they would've fared well.

6. Half of them don't think Nigel would make a good Prime Minister :(

Still, a good 54% would cheer. And if Nigel doesn't become PM they'll settle for Cameron.
