Makerfield By-Election Update:
https://t.co/1qzdOOW1SO

Survation conducted a new poll of the Makerfield constituency. Fieldwork was conducted by telephone among 518 adults in the constituency between 26th May and 1st June 2026. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Methodology Statement
Population Sampled: All residents aged 18+ living in the Makerfield parliamentary constituency.

Total Sample Size: 518

Data Collection Method: Telephone interview. A combination of landline and mobile data were used.

Fieldwork Dates: 26th May – 1st June 2026

Data Weighting: Data were weighted to the profile of all adults in Makerfield constituency aged 18+. Data were weighted by age, sex, ward and 2024 General Election vote.

Targets for the weighted data were derived from Office for National Statistics data and the results of the 2024 UK General Election.

Margin of Error: Because only a sample of the full population was interviewed, all results are subject to a margin of error. For example, in a question where 50% gave a particular answer, with a sample of 518 it is 95% certain that the “true” value would fall within 4.8 percentage points of the sample result.

Headline by-election voting intention - Table V2 (likelihood-weighted, undecided/refused removed, no squeeze):

Candidate / Party / Vote share

Andy Burnham - Labour 49%
Robert Kenyon - Reform UK 39%
Rebecca Shepherd - Restore Britain 8%
Sarah Wakefield - Green Party 2%
Jake Austin - Liberal Democrat 1%
Michael Winstanley - Conservative 1%
Another party <1%

Base: likely voters, factored by likelihood to vote, with undecided and refused voters removed
