Various organisations continually conduct opinion polls to gauge voter intention in anticipation of the next United Kingdom general election. The next general election must be held no later than 15 August 2029 under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, which mandates that any Parliament automatically dissolves five years after it first met – unless it is dissolved earlier at the request of the prime minister – and polling day occurs no more than 25 working days later.
Most of the polling companies listed are members of the British Polling Council (BPC) and abide by its disclosure rules. The dates of the polls range from the 2024 United Kingdom general election, held on 4 July, to the present.
Graphical summary The chart below shows opinion polls conducted since the 2024 general election. The trend lines are local regressions (LOESS). The bar on the left represents the previous election, and the bar on the right represents the latest possible date of the next election.
National poll results Most opinion polls do not cover Northern Ireland, which has different major political parties from the rest of the United Kingdom. In the 'area' column of the tables below, "GB" (Great Britain) denotes polls that do not include Northern Ireland, whereas "UK" (United Kingdom) denotes polls that do. Plaid Cymru only stands candidates in Wales, the Scottish National Party only stands candidates in Scotland, and the Conservative Party is the only party with its own column below that stands candidates in Northern Ireland.
Due to rounding, total figures may not add up to 100%. The lead is calculated by subtracting the polling percentage of the first-placed party by that of the second-placed party. The first-placed party is shaded with its party colour, and in boldface; the second-placed party is shaded in grey. The table can be sorted by all features; to sort by party vote share, click on the coloured ribbons. Where polls specify parties within 'other', this may be expandable by pressing the button in the 'other' cell.
