Here's a link to the most recent poll I'm aware of, conducted by the  BBC

Now, as far as I  can see, imperial is in a poor 3rd place.

I would be interested to see examples of those opinion polls. Are you able to 
oblige Stephen?

I'm not so sure (of the connection). It's not usual for me to disagree with 
you, Carleton but here in the UK polls tend to confirm a preference to imperial 
over metric (don't shoot the messenger!) however when the pound coin came in 
and the pound note went out I remember no reaction or 'anti-feeling'. I still 
remain confused at why there's the anti- feeling in the USA. 
(still 1-0, although USA deserved one)
