Survation gave evidence to an APPG meeting in September on research we conducted in “Left Behind” neighbourhoods for Local Trust. @appgleftbehind
Residents in these areas are more at-risk for feeling the impacts of climate change with around a quarter of these areas being coastal communities, yet our research showed most residents are concerned and think that their councils are not doing enough.

55% of the public believe Boris Johnson as Prime Minister does not exhibit leadership. Only 1 in 3, (32%) says he does.
As working out the effect of potential tactical voting is causing some interest today, here's another example to understand the phenomenon.

Asked simply: If the General Election was tomorrow, which party would you vote for in your Bath constituency? Headline results were:
CON 32%
LAB 17%
LD 46%
AP 5%
However when we asked:
Now please imagine that at the next General Election the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats all have an equal chance of winning in your Bath constituency. Which party would you vote for in that situation? We found:
