Technical Details

This polling was conducted in partnership with The Migration Observatory.

A representative sample of 2,300 adults in Great Britain were interviewed between the 18^th and 24^th April 2023. All interviews were conducted online using the Kantar Research Express. The Kantar online access panel was the main sample source.

The data was weighted to match population totals for age, gender, 2019 General Election voting patterns, 2016 EU referendum voting patterns, education, region, and likelihood to vote in the next General Election.

Weights have been applied to the sample to ensure that it is representative of the general public in Great Britain aged 18+.

The full data tables can be found here.
