New polling for CPAG on child poverty in the UK

Public First conducted opinion research for Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG), looking into attitudes towards the two-child benefit cap and related messaging that resonate with the public. Our baseline findings show that there is widespread public support for government intervention to reduce child poverty.

Fieldwork ran from 11 March 2025 to 14 March 2025 and surveyed 2,008 adults in the UK in an anonymous, online poll.  All results are weighted using Iterative Proportional Fitting, or ‘Raking’. The results are weighted by interlocking age & gender, region and social grade to Nationally Representative Proportions.
