LucidTalk run regular Northern Ireland (NI) Opinion Panel 'Tracker Polls' to constantly gauge and estimate NI public opinion on a wide range of issues e.g. politics, business, consumer, lifestyle etc. Here we present the report from our August 2019 NI-Wide Opinion Panel Tracker Poll – which researched NI representative opinions and views on (a) a NI-only ‘Backstop’ arrangement as part of Brexit, and (b) How do you think the UK government are doing with the Brexit negotiations? This poll-project was run in association with the SUNDAY TIMES newspaper, and U105 radio. The results were published in the SUNDAY TIMES, in the BELFAST TELEGRAPH, and in other media – see below for links to the coverage.
The polls are regular 'Tracker' polls of the established LT Northern Ireland Opinion Panel (now over 12,000 members). The LucidTalk Opinion Panel consists of Northern Ireland residents (age 18+) and is balanced by gender, age-group, area of residence, and community background, in order to be demographically representative of Northern Ireland. For this August 2019 NI Tracker poll-project our NI-Wide and representative Opinion Panel was targeted, and invited to participate, and 2,302 full responses were received. LT then constructed a NI representative 1,252 sample of responses which were used to determine the final results - researched and weighted to be a balanced, robust, and accurate sample of NI opinion.

Methodology
Polling was carried out by Belfast based polling and market research company LucidTalk. The project was carried out online over a period of four days from 9th to 12th August 2019. The project targeted the established LucidTalk NI-Wide Opinion Panel (12,762 members) which is balanced by gender, age-group, area of residence, and community background, in order to be demographically representative of Northern Ireland(NI). 1,252 full responses were considered in terms of the final results, after a data auditing process ensured all completed poll-surveys were genuine 'one-person, one-vote' responses, and the base data-results were weighted to all the major NI demographics, to ensure a robust NI representative sample of opinion. This 1,252 responses dataset was/is a demographically representative sample of Northern Ireland - producing results representative of NI Opinion to within an error of +/-2.6% at 95% confidence.
