[Support for UKIP in a Labour safe seat by-election is surging as voters abandon Ed Miliband, a dramatic poll has revealed.
The exclusive Survation poll for The Sun on next week's Heywood and Middleton vote reveals backing for the anti-EU party has surged to 31%, putting it in a firm second place.
At the 2010 general election, Ukip got just 3% and Labour held the Greater Manchester constituency comfortably with a majority of 5,971.
Labour chiefs are still on course to hold on to the northern constituency, retaining 50% of the support among those who have decided how they'll vote so far.
But with just seven days to go before polling day, the finding - which also reveals 19% are yet to make up their minds - will sound major alarm bells for Labour.
And it cedes the momentum to Nigel Farage's party for a tense final week of campaigning that could still deliver a major political shock and Ukip's first ever directly elected MP. ]
