Resolution – Cohabiting couples
Survey of 2,033 British adults about their understanding of the law regarding co-habiting couples
  • A quarter of Britons (27%) wrongly believe that, after living together for more than two years, unmarried couples have similar rights to married couples if they break up
  • Nearly two in five British adults (37%) wrongly think it is true that unmarried couples who have lived together for more than two years benefit from what is known as a ‘common law marriage’
  • More than four in five Britons (84%) agree that the government should take steps to ensure unmarried cohabitating couples are aware they do not have the same legal protection as married couples if they separate, or if one of them should die

FEATURED POLL

Savanta ComRes Political Tracker May 2021 & Westminster Voting Intention

  • “We were so pleased with the results of the polling we commissioned through Savanta ComRes. Katie and her team were a steady hand of expertise throughout the whole process and worked quickly and professionally to meet our deadlines. The polling provided us with a hook that was instrumental in enabling our campaign to take light more quickly and gain a wider reach.”

  • “I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charu, Rachel, and the rest of the Savanta ComRes team to any colleague who is interested in commissioning some polling. At every stage of our research with NHS leaders (from designing the questions, finding the right sample, going to field, analysing the results, and checking that we represented the findings accurately in our report), the team at Savanta ComRes were just brilliant – professional, responsive, expert, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve what we were after. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.”

  • “Savanta ComRes led a very substantial and complex data project for us with really expert advice and guidance to make sure we got the best possible quality data. With the help and support of Savanta ComRes consultants and in house data experts we managed to put together a potentially very difficult project on time and to the highest quality. They understand their clients and what matters to them."

  • Savanta ComRes were an absolute joy to work with. We needed a punchy poll-based story for the launch of the latest phase of our Choose Psychiatry recruitment campaign and Savanta ComRes delivered that in buckets, with the story getting national television, radio and print coverage as well as online.

  • Savanta ComRes help us produce data that our members value and allows us to communicate effectively to policymakers and the media about issues that are important to recruiters.

🚨Seven in ten UK adults say it's one rule for the Govt and another for everybody else (72%).

This includes almost six in ten of the Conservative's own voters from 2019 (58%) who say the same.

Less than one in ten (8%) adults overall say this is not the case.
