New polling suggests referendum on Irish unity would pass in the republic by a margin of four to one, but would be rejected by a large margin in the north (51% against, 30% in favour)

1. The percentage of people in the north who say they would find unity “almost impossible to accept” has declined however.
   – 59% of Catholics in the north would vote for unity vs 30% against
   – 4% of Protestants in the north would vote for unity vs 81% against

2. Oh I love a good post about border polls, especially one you can’t read without paying. Cheers OP

3. I find it hard to believe that when it would come to a vote that so many people in ROI would vote to undertake the paying for and babysitting that NI would come with. I just don’t see the value we would bring with us. We’d be a drain on their already stretched resources. Perhaps it’s people responding with ideological thinking to a pollster and not what they’d vote for in reality, who knows. But a 4:1 majority in ROI in favour of unity seems an unlikely outcome, hmmm 🤔
