Methodology

Surveys

Our surveys are commissioned by Made in England and carried out by Censuswide. Censuswide is a member of the Market Research Society and the British Polling Council and a signatory of the Global Data Quality Pledge. It abides by the MRS Code of Conduct and ESOMAR principles.

For every survey we publish who was asked and how many, the fieldwork dates, the survey reference, and the results for every question.

Figures for regions and cities come from smaller groups of respondents than the national figures. City figures in particular should be read as indicative. Each report gives the sample sizes.

Our first survey

Censuswide surveyed 2,001 adults in England between 13 and 16 April 2026. The sample is nationally representative of adults aged 18 and over. Survey reference J17714CWMP. Full results for all 20 questions.

Maps and interactives

Each map or interactive explains on its own page how it was put together, what counts and what does not, and when it was last checked.

Who pays for this research
