By last night, of the 68,777 who took part in an exclusive online poll for express. co.uk, 92 per cent voted to leave. In a separate telephone poll in the Daily Express yesterday, 99 per cent of readers said they did not trust the Prime Minister’s deal. The poll results came as it was revealed that the number of people claiming asylum in Britain rose by almost 50 per cent last summer as the EU failed to get to grips with the global migration crisis.

It follows disappointment at Mr AN overwhelming majority now want to quit the EU amid frustration at David Cameron’s “pathetic” deal with Brussels, a survey has found. By last night, of the 68,777 who took part in an exclusive online poll for express. co.uk, 92 per cent voted to leave. In a separate telephone poll in the Daily Express yesterday, 99 per cent of readers said they did not trust the Prime Minister’s deal. The poll results came as it was revealed that the number of people claiming asylum in Britain rose by almost 50 per cent last summer as the EU failed to get to grips with the global migration crisis. The Home Office figures will only add to the growing sense of unease shared by millions of voters that Britain can no longer control its own affairs. It follows disappointment at Mr Cameron’s attempts to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU – a deal which will see migrants still paid benefits, no return of control of our borders and no guarantee that Parliament will regain its sovereignty. The deal could yet be rejected at the European Council summit later this month after it emerged last night that none of his fellow EU leaders are happy with the draft agreement. Mr Cameron will face a two-week battle to win support for his reforms. A Downing Street spokesman said there was “still hard work ahead”. The poll results reveal the growing resentment at EU meddling in Britain’s affairs and a seemingly unstoppable surge in support for the country to be unshackled from Brussels’ bureaucratic rule. The express.co.uk poll asked what is to be the official question in the referendum expected to be held in June: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?” Just seven per cent said they wanted Britain to remain in the 28-member bloc. One per cent was undecided. Cutting Britain’s ties with Brussels has been championed by the Daily Express’s five-year crusade to get us out of the EU.

Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said the poll revealed the “intelligence and native wit of Express readers”. He added: “It shows the Prime Minister’s deal is failing to butter parsnips.” Ukip leader Nigel Farage said: “Given David Cameron’s frankly pathetic EU deal, it is clearer now than ever that the only way we can take back control of our borders, stop handing over £55million every single day to Brussels and become a self-governing, independent country is to leave the European Union.” The party’s MP Douglas Carswell added: “This is very encouraging. It shows Express readers are very sound and sensible people.” Labour MP Kate Hoey, co-head of her party’s anti-EU Labour Leave group, said: “I am not surprised at the Daily Express poll. This mirrors what I am finding as I speak at meetings all over the country. The British public want to have their voice heard and want to make sure we get the yoke of EU dominance off our back.” In a further demonstration of the backlash against the EU’s handling of the migrant crisis, a separate survey revealed yesterday that attitudes to allowing refugees into Britain have hardened. In a Comres/BBC Local Radio poll, 41 per cent of the 2,204 people interviewed said Britain should accept fewer people from war-torn Syria and Libya. In September last year, when photos of a drowned two-year-old Syrian boy were published, that figure was 31 per cent. The Home Office figures on asylum claims, given to the independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, David Bolt, show more than 9,500 applications were lodged in just three months last summer at a rate of 103 a day.
