 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2013) |
The date range for these opinion polls is from the previous general election to the election on 1 May 1997.
Most opinion polls do not cover Northern Ireland, since its 18 seats were not contested by the political parties standing for election in the rest of the United Kingdom.
