More than half the public (53%) think ID cards are a bad or very bad idea when reminded that “The government has proposed the introduction of identity cards that, in combination with your passport, will cost around £93″. This compares to 37% saying they are a good or very good idea.
Opposition to ID cards has grown since 2006 when only 33% opposed the idea.
You can read more about the Liberal Democrat opposition to ID cards over on the Freedom Bill website.
The results are from the State of the Nation Survey 2010, a new poll of 2,288 people aged 18+ conducted by ICM for the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust 20 January – 7 February.
