Mr Farage painted a positive picture of a ComRes poll published in the Mail on Sunday which suggested Mr Farage might not win the South Thanet seat on May 7.

He admitted that he was “aware” of the poll, which had been funded by a donor, but said that it “showed us five points ahead on the raw data – I would like it to be more than that clearly.

“The raw data had us ahead but not as far ahead as a previous poll that was conducted six to eight weeks before that.”


He described Ukip’s support as going in “peaks and troughs”, adding: “Share prices have peaks and troughs, we all have peaks and troughs.

“Over the last week we have seen consolidation and Ukip start to rise again. Can we generate the level of excitement to get us up to the kind of numbers that we hit last November.”

He added: “There is no election in history where we have not dipped after an election.

“Even going right back to much smaller numbers we have generally had run ups to polls and then dips and declines afterwards.”
