Assisted Dying Bill – Public Opinion Polling (April 2026)
See the full data tables here.
Opinium conducted an online survey of 2,050 UK adults between 15th and 17th April 2026 on behalf of Dignity in Dying. The research explored public attitudes towards the Assisted Dying Bill following its progression through Parliament and its subsequent failure to complete passage in the House of Lords.
The findings indicate that a majority of of the public believe debate on the Bill should continue until Parliament reaches a final decision, and that the House of Commons should have the opportunity for a conclusive vote. The data also suggests that the Bill’s failure to complete its stages in the House of Lords has had a negative impact on trust in how Parliament operates for a significant proportion of the public.
Methodology
Opinium conducted the research using an online survey of a nationally representative sample of UK adults (n=2,050). Fieldwork was carried out between 15th–17th April 2026. Results have been weighted to be nationally representative of the UK adult population by age, gender, region, and other political and socio-demographic characteristics.
