A new poll claims that 79 per cent of Londoners back the city’s bid for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, a rise of 12 per cent since October.
A year ago support was running at just 53 per cent.
Asked why they backed the bid, 43 per cent of the 1,000 polled said they believed the Games would provide a boost to London’s economy.
The London 2012 bid team said 1.3 million people had registered their support for the Games since December.
The poll was conducted by ICM Research, an independent polling research company .
