Seven per cent of respondents cite the Israel/Palestine conflict – a sharp increase from just 2 per cent last month – perhaps explained by the recognition of Palestine confirmed by the Government late last month. The survey asks more than 1,000 respondents the following question: “What have you come across in what the Government has said or done recently that has made you think the country is going in the right or wrong direction?”
