this is quite a big increase towards ditching the monarchy already. this kind of poll usually is 70-80 in favour of the whole daft business continuing so it represents good progress.
in the 35 and under age group there was a majority in favour of ditching the royals.
I imagine anti-monarchy sentiment will grow once the Queen dies as well, Charles isn't particularly popular
