This data set contains estimates of average public opinion on several topics for 632 British parliamentary constituencies. These estimates are derived from existing primary data sources, including national survey data, UK Census data and geodata on constituency boundaries. Information from these data sources is combined using 'multilevel regression and post-stratification' (MRP) techniques which are detailed in 'data collection method' section and the technical report accompanying the data. This project generated new estimates of public opinion in Westminster constituencies. We utilised multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) techniques for estimating public opinion in small areas, combining information from several existing data sources: ESRC-funded national surveys, Census data, and geographic information from the Ordinance Survey.
