This report summarises opinion research undertaken by Public First. Public First ran a nationally-representative poll with a sample of 4,034 people between 20th November 2024 and 26th November 2024. For all tables, unless otherwise stated, the base is the full UK nationally representative sample.
All results are weighted using Iterative Proportional Fitting, or ‘Raking’. The results are weighted by interlocking age and gender, region and social grade to Nationally Representative Proportions. The full tables can be found on Public First’s website here. Public First is a member of the BPC and abides by its rules.
