Supplementary notes

"Don't know" answers account for the remaining share of the total.

Survey methodology up to March 2018 was a Kantar face-to-face omnibus survey. Between March 2020 and March 2021, a temporary Kantar online panel type of survey was introduced, which was not based on a random sample of respondents. From autumn 2021 onwards, the survey primarily used an Address Based Online Surveying (ABOS) method. The survey conducted in 2022 used a a push-to-web methodology, where the addresses of the respondents were randomly selected from the postcode address file (PAF) and completed the survey online or on paper. Due to a change in survey methodology, the source states that direct comparisons between time series is not possible.
The opinion expressed by remaining share of the respondents was 'Don't know'.
