evidence: - In August 2022, LucidTalk released polling results in which 41% of respondents said they were in favour of a United Ireland, compared with 48% who indicated a preference for the status quo. This represented a dip in support for unity and a boost for UK membership, compared with LucidTalk’s previous poll (42% UI and 47% remain). [...] Aside from the ARINS Project, each of these organisations have carried out several polls on support for a United Ireland over the past five years or so. Another notable pollster, Lord Ashcroft, also carried out polling, though none in the past year. [...] LucidTalk and Ashcroft polls have tended to indicate higher support for Irish Unity than the UL and NILTS surveys (and the one-off result from the ARINS Project).
