Poll: Less enthusiasm for unity among Catholics in North than among Republic’s respondents

Overall, Catholics in Northern Ireland are similar to the public in the South in strongly supporting a referendum within 10 years, while Northern Protestants are fairly evenly divided on the issue: their responses partly depend on how the question is asked.

Over the next decade, the almost one-fifth who do not know are persuadable, in either direction. The current bare majority support for the union, however, may fall in partial correlation with the further expected demographic decline in the proportion of Protestants in the North. Northern Protestants very strongly prefer remaining in the UK to Irish unity , yet one in seven “don’t know”.

There is variation, however, when we examine the likelihood of voting by constitutional preference. The “don’t knows” in the North are unlikely to vote. While 81 per cent of those favouring staying in the UK indicate that they would definitely vote, almost all of respondents favouring Irish unity said they would definitely vote. The pattern is the same in the South: 61 per cent of pro-UK respondents will definitely vote compared to 81 per cent of pro-unity respondents.

When are we going to get beyond the religious divide when carrying out these surveys. We need to break this cycle of religious differences and focus on what's best for the community regardless of religious or political differences.

If elections are rigged you can bet polls are

Maybe the Republic of Ireland needs a more distinctive flag? And a better anthem? And something better than the HSE?

The reality is.. Northern Ireland IS PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 🇬🇧

It’s like pulling virgin teeth because they won’t come out in their own, so they turn to the typical tools of abuse!!

That’s because no one told the RoI respondents how much it would cost them.

Jesus Christ would you drop it already

Sounds like total nonsense when 38.1% of the Northern electorate voted for sinnfeinireland in the last round of local elections

Irish Times will do everthing in it's power to stop a U.I. Same way it has systematically campaigned against the Good Friday agreement over the last 25 years.

Aontaithe2021 Your polling just doesn’t add up Regarding NI

If I was in the North as bad as it is, I think I would prefer to stay in UK as things stand. The wheels are off the FFG shit show these last year's and it's a right mess and they are working hard making it worse!

The anti irish times.

fergalkeane47 Interesting, none of my friends in Dublin are in favour of unity and I wouldn't say they are noticeably Catholic. Until this cropped up I never thought about their religion, never thought to ask. While it's a tiny sample, they say their friends agree, they want no truck with NI
