Rishi Sunak was yesterday warned the public is becoming increasingly concerned by high levels of immigration.<\/p>\n
A new poll by Ipsos Mori revealed that immigration is one of the four biggest issues in many voters\u2019 minds, alongside high inflation, the economy and the state of the NHS.<\/p>\n
Public concern about immigration is now at its highest level since 2017, the poll says.<\/p>\n
Mike Clemence, a researcher at Ipsos, said: \u201cImmigration is becoming a bigger concern for the country, with the proportion mentioning it almost doubling since the start of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis increase is driven by rising concern among older people and Conservative Party supporters in particular. Overall, however, the public are still just as, if not more, worried about the economy, inflation and the NHS.<\/p>\n
