Remarks:
The poll comprised a set of questions on attitudes to personal faith and faith in public life (replicating those asked in an earlier poll for the same sponsor on 1-2 May 2024), and attitudes to faith and environmental sustainability. Although Whitestone Insight gave the sample size as 2064 for both sections of the poll, in fact the sample size for questions on personal faith was 1383 and on faith in public life 2396, even though the fieldwork dates were the same throughout.
