There was a poll flagged recently (I think on here but I can't find it on search) which showed about 40% support for trident and a further 30% support if renewing it was of a reasonable cost (I can't remember exactly how that was phrased).
That was used variously as people support Trident (70% in favour) and people didn't (60% against).
For many, I don't think it's the actual weapons, the deterrent, the possibility of using them, etc. It's more that having nuclear weapons still shows that the UK is relevant and one of the top countries.
(Edit: Seems to be the same as what Blair was saying)
