Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election

Results of such polls are displayed in this article. Most of the polling companies listed are members of the British Polling Council (BPC) and abide by its disclosure rules.

The date range for these opinion polls is from the previous general election, held on 12 December 2019, to the present day. Under current fixed-term legislation, the next general election is scheduled to be held in May 2024,[1] though the government has pledged to repeal this law.[2] Should this happen, a new law would be required to establish a term length limit, as the preceding legislation is no longer in force.[3]
Some opinion polls do not cover Northern Ireland, which has different major political parties from the rest of the United Kingdom. This distinction is made clear in the table below by the use of "GB" (mainland Great Britain, not including Northern Ireland) or "UK" (the whole United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland) in the Area column.
Graphical summary
The chart below shows opinion polls conducted for the next United Kingdom general election. The trend lines are local regressions (LOESS).
National poll results
Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. The 'party lead' column shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. In the instance of a tie, the figures with the highest percentages are shaded and displayed in bold.
The parties with the largest numbers of votes in the 2019 general election are listed here. Other parties are listed in the "Others" column.
