Methodology

Savanta ComRes surveyed 4,193 UK adults aged 18+ in households in the lowest 40% of equivalised household income between 24th September and 5th October 2021. 4,093 were surveyed online and 100 with very low digital skills were surveyed on telephone. Data were weighted to be representative by age, gender, region, ethnicity and housing tenure.
