Frequently Asked Questions
What are voting intention polls?
Voting intention polls ask respondents which party they would vote for if a general election were held tomorrow. They measure current political preferences across the UK and form the basis of polling averages.
How often are polls conducted?
Major UK pollsters publish voting intention polls several times per week. Some conduct continuous tracking polls with daily or weekly releases, while others publish fortnightly or monthly results. New polls typically appear multiple times per week.
Which pollsters are most reliable?
Reliability varies by methodology and historical performance. Leading pollsters include YouGov, Savanta, Opinium, Redfield & Wilton, and Techne. This tracker weights each pollster by a reliability score based on historical accuracy and methodological quality.
What is the margin of error?
A typical poll with 1,000 respondents has a margin of error of around 3%. Larger samples reduce error; smaller samples increase it. The margin of error describes the range where the true population value likely falls, typically at 95% confidence.
How are polls conducted online versus phone?
Online polls use panel-based sampling or quotas, recruiting respondents from internet panels or through social media. Phone polls contact voters directly by telephone. Online methods are faster and cheaper; phone polls may have different response patterns and demographics.
What is fieldwork?
Fieldwork is the period during which a poll is conducted — the dates respondents are surveyed. The fieldwork dates matter because political events, news, and campaigns can shift opinion. Recent fieldwork is weighted more heavily in polling averages.
When do polls get published?
Publication timing varies. Most polls are published within days of fieldwork completion. Some pollsters release results immediately; others embargo results until a specific date. Major polls often appear on news sites within 1-3 days of completion.
How do I read a polling table?
A polling table shows parties as columns and their vote shares as percentages in each row. Each row represents a single poll. Fieldwork dates, sample size (n), and pollster name are usually shown. The leading party in each poll is often highlighted.
