Read the original article on independent.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Independent reports a Queen's University Belfast poll, conducted by LucidTalk, finding 52% of Northern Ireland voters back rejoining the EU and that support for the Windsor Framework has weakened. The Independent keeps the poll attribution in its headline and gives the fieldwork dates, the sample size, the proposition put to respondents on rejoining and the share opposed. This review found nothing in the report that misleads its reader.
“conducted by LucidTalk between October 23-26, using a weighted sample of 1,050 respondents from across Northern Ireland”
The article gives the pollster, the fieldwork dates and the sample size, so the reader can judge how much weight the figures carry.
“52% of voters in Northern Ireland agree that the UK should rejoin the EU and assume the same obligations as other member states, with 38% opposed”
It gives the exact proposition put to respondents and the opposing share, which backs the headline's 'more than half' claim without inflating it.
“a decline from 60% in February 2024”
It gives the earlier figure and date, so the reader sees the base for the claimed decline rather than a bare trend word.
