Unionism needs to have a word with itself. Against the backstop, and yes, it is just one poll.
The BelTel poll showed people did not generally have a problem with the backstop so there is quite a bit of difference there.
No age correlation with unionist views but note that over 65s are more likely to be against unification with ROI.
So I wonder if the 65+ are more likely to be hardline unionists. Young people in NI are much more flexible in their views and more likely to declare themselves as "other" and "we will do what is best for NI"
