- Men are more likely than women to be deciding who to vote for based on Britain’s planned exit from the EU (42% compared to 27% of women who say the same);

Views on the next Prime Minister

Notes for editors
*Since our previous research in Kantar’s October Brexit Barometer, a squeeze question has been added (to get an indication of which way non-disclosers are leaning) and have imputed voting intention for those that have not stated a preference (at either the main voting intention question or at the squeeze). Under our previous approach, the headline voting intention figures would have been: Conservative (41%), Labour (28%), Lib Dems (16%), and Brexit Party (8%).
**This research was conducted before The Brexit Party announced it would not stand in all seats. In future polling, to account for further changes of this kind, respondents who indicate that they will vote for a party who is not standing in their constituency will be re-allocated to their second preference.
Methodological information
The survey data and further details on the methodological approach can be found here.
The Kantar Research Express Online Omnibus interviewed a representative sample of 1,165 adults in Great Britain between the 7th and 11th November 2019. All interviews were conducted as online self-completion. The Kantar Research Express uses the Kantar online access panel as its sample source.
The data was weighted to match population totals for age, gender, working status, 2017 General Election voting patterns, 2016 EU referendum voting patterns, education, region, and likelihood to vote in the next General Election.
