Depends on whether you are talking about the UK or not. Across the UK as a whole the majority still favour the monarchy. I think Scotland is below 50% but the polling includes “don’t know”. So I think even there the support is higher than those against. I got sent this by a friend who works in polling. It was from surveys before the Queen died but shows a pretty steady situation

Like anything these things do not tell the full story.

There is a pretty big difference between the question "Do you like the Monarchy" and "Do you want a Monarchy or Republic".

Well yes as you’ve reframed the question from the poll yourself. I’m pretty ambivalent by the way, but from the things I’ve seen and read the support across the UK is more for the monarchy than a republic. Might be wrong and happy to be proved so if that is the case

I suspect the vast majority simply want neither.
 
Wonder if it's just me but all this feels like the first few weeks of Covid. Initially interesting and novel (attitudes to monarchy etc) but now there's the feeling of being bored rigid all the while standing back wondering at how every lever of the state in this country is conspiring to make it a massive big deal.

Radios and TV reporting the queue as a "line of duty" and live updates on how long it is and how this is such a great show of Britishness!

They cant say anything else, careers are on the line here. The celeb image boost thats happening in the queue or the queue for the queue... its obscene.
Is the bank holiday firmly set for Monday? because the 'outpouring of genuine grief and respect the nation has shown' surely requires another couple of days for this waiting in line shambles to be extended. Queue em round the millenium dome, past the queen vic to. Sell em all some shlock, 5er use the khazi, roaming florists, this has been hyped as the must go to event of the year, are they flying in for a go in the queue?
