Some 40.7 per cent agreed with Labour's minimum wage pledge, while 38.7 per cent agreed with proposals for a freeze on hospital closures.

Labour's education plans even found strong levels of support among people planning to vote for other parties.

Some 67.2 per cent of people saying they plan to vote Lib Dem and 24.4 per cent of would-be Conservative voters agree with the extra schools cash.

Among London voters, the most popular Conservative election promise was recruiting 10,000 more mental health staff.

That was supported by 38.8 per cent of people across the capital.

Caps on energy prices (29.2%) and cutting immigration (26.4%) came next.

The Lib Dem's most popular promise was extra education spending while for the Green party it was scrapping tuition fees.

The study, run in partnership with Google Surveys, was completed online by more than 8,000 people across the regions of England.
