The LucidTalk poll, conducted for a team of researchers at Queen’s University Belfast has revealed that Northern Ireland voters are evenly split over the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.
From a weighted sample of 1500 respondents, the Opinion Panel poll reveals that the majority share concerns about the current impact of the Protocol. This is the second poll of its type in three months as part of a three-year (2021-2023) ESRC-funded research project entitled Governance for a place between’: the Multilevel Dynamics of Implementing the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland .
It reveals that, although people’s concerns are still considerable, the protests and political debate over the Protocol since April have not led to any significant growth in the proportion of voters objecting to it. This suggests that positions on the Protocol are already quite well entrenched.

People in Northern Ireland are highly exercised and evenly split over the Brexit Protocol, an opinion poll has indicated.
The Protocol, which introduces fresh checks on goods arriving into the region from Great Britain following the UK s departure from the EU, sharply divides opinions at Stormont, with unionists strongly opposed to it.
Loyalists have been holding demonstrations against the Protocol across Northern Ireland in recent months while a number of legal challenges have been lodged against it.

Voters in Northern Ireland are evenly split over the need for Brexit checks on goods coming in from Great Britain, a new survey has shown just hours before a new deal between the EU and the UK is revealed.
The EU will on Wednesday say it is retreating from the threat of a trade war and confirm a “package” of arrangements to take the heat out of the bitter dispute over the sales of British sausages, secondhand cars and potted plants in Northern Ireland.
Sources said it will unveil “a package of measures” along with an agreement to accede to the UK’s request for a three-month extension on a grace period for the sale of chilled meats, which led to an ugly dispute, dubbed the sausage war.
