Methodology

ComRes surveyed 2,010 British adults on 14th-15th January 2019. Data were weighted to be demographically representative of all GB adults by age, gender, region and social grade. Voting intention questions were also weighted by past vote recall and likelihood to vote. Additional questions related to Brexit were weighted by 2016 EU Referendum results. ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
