When asked to choose between immigration control and single market access, more people wanted to retain single market at the cost of immigration controls than the converse.

That changes depending on the polls. One more recent: http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/09/the-new-blueprint/ has the majority of people placing immigration as a priority over the single market.

Especially since leaving the EU only affects EU immigration, which people are generally much less worried about. Non-EU immigration, which is what people really worry about, is largely independent of EU membership.

I am not sure about this, in certain areas people are really worried about Eastern Europeans, particularly Poles (google "polish vermin brexit"), and Farage did speak often of sending Italians and Spaniards back home.
