More than half of Brits believe tightening migration controls is more important than staying in the EU’s single market, according to a poll conducted for broadcaster ITV, Bloomberg reported.

Just 44 percent of those surveyed said membership of the single market should be prioritized.

The opinion poll, conducted by Survation and to be aired on Tuesday’s The Agenda program, suggested 58 percent of Brits support the way Prime Minister Theresa May is handling Brexit, while 25 percent disapprove.

The findings seem to contradict a survey carried out for Sky News last week, which suggested voters would like to see May focus more on trade deals with EU countries than curbing immigration.
