The majority of Brits are in favour of staying in the European Union, according to the latest poll by ComRes, however opposition to membership ticked up slightly.

Fifty-four percent of respondents in the poll carried out on behalf of the Daily Mail said they would vote to remain in the EU if the widely anticipated in/out referendum was held tomorrow. This marked a drop of two percentage points from December's survey.

At the same time, 36 per cent said they would to leave, up one percentage point from last month. Ten per cent were undecided, up two percentage points.

Prime Minister David Cameron is trying to renegotiate the terms of Britain's membership to the EU, ahead of the referendum which will take place before the end of 2017.

After having lunch with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Cameron told the BBC: "There is now a proposal on the table. It is not good enough. It needs more work. But we are making progress". He was referring to the EU's proposed "emergency brake" to curb European migration to Britain.

His next key meeting will be with European Council president, Donald Tusk, in Downing Street on Sunday.
