Northern Ireland Poll Puts Irish Unity Just Four Points Behind UK

Northern Ireland Poll Puts Irish Unity Just Four Points Behind UK

A new LucidTalk survey for the Belfast Telegraph found 46% of Northern Ireland voters would choose to stay in the UK, while 42% would back a united Ireland and 12% say they are still undecided. The Union remains ahead, but only narrowly now. Unionists stress that unity still lacks majority support, but the narrowing gap is fuelling fresh debate about a possible future border poll.
