Britain united in grief – but polling shows a growing generational divide

October 13, 2022

According to The Guardian:

The national outpouring of grief over the loss of Queen Elizabeth II appears to show a nation united behind the institution of the monarchy. It is certainly true that the late queen was incredibly popular – the last poll before her death found 81% of people held her in positive regard…

Certainly, any politician would kill to be thought of so favourably by so many. But…only 47% of 18- to 24-year-olds say Britain should continue to have a monarchy…

The present level of support for an elected head of state among under-25s (33%) is largely in line with the average since 2020 (37%).
