I was talking about literal polls done by polling services, to see if the attitude has changed over the years. 1973 was indeed the last one.

2025 will see a nationalist leaning majority. And when brexit goes bad for the North expect an enlarged Alliance party to row in behind accepting reunification.
What makes you think all of them will just start supporting that? Surely it's also possible that some factions might want to see Northern Ireland go independently entirely, no?
