Most voters favour a ban on Muslim women wearing the burqa in public, according to an opinion survey by the polling group UMR Research.
The national survey of 1000 people of voting age earlier this month found that 59 per cent supported a ban on the full face and body veil in public places.
However, 33 per cent of UMR's respondents said they opposed a ban and the remaining 8 per cent were unsure.
