The poll also shows with higher backing among younger people and in London, southern England and Northern Ireland.

Strongest support for the Games came from 25-34 year-olds, with 90 per cent saying they were pleased London is staging the Games.

The poll showed widespread optimism that the Games will have a positive effect on London and the whole country and high levels of confidence that the UK will stage successful Games in 2012.

Even where support was lowest, more than six out of ten were pleased about London hosting the Games.
