Public First conducted polling to explore public attitudes towards the role of universities in shaping the UK’s future success as part of its fortnightly omnibus survey.
Polling Tables
Public First conducted an anonymous, online survey of 2,045 adults in the UK between the 19th Jan – 22nd Jan 2026.
The survey results are weighted using iterative proportional fitting, or ‘raking’. Results are weighted by interlocking age and gender, region, and social grade to nationally representative proportions. The investor survey results are unweighted. Public First is a member of the British Polling Council (BPC) and abides by its rules. For more information, please contact the Public First Polling Team: polling@publicfirst.co.uk
