Ipsos Mori's poll from May 2012 shows 51% of Britons think Charles should not give up his right to be the next monarch in favour of William, while 40% think he should. That was compared to 47% and 46% in their poll just before the royal wedding. It's a sign of Charles's growing popularity, as opposed to a fall in William's popularity.
The Ipsos polls are so interesting because they've been doing the same polls (i.e. with the exact same questions) every year since 1993, so trends are really easy to spot. The British people are increasingly confident that the monarchy will last for at least another 50 years, which I think suggests a confidence in the next two monarchs (likely Charles and William) to do a good job.
