Its ridiculous that the Sunday Times would print this factually risible claim with nobody spotting it. There are several polls on this, from YouGov, Opinium, Number Cruncher Politics, Focaldata, ComResSavanta https://twitter.com/martinboon/status/1305046993773961216
Here is a June meno with the initial Opinium data https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1276901063543701505?s=19

If Liddle could use Google, he could even have cherry picked some findings to support his own views https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1274490391694319616?s=19

I guess Liddle may also have made up the quote, as I doubt there can be many actual pollsters who do think there have been no polls on a topic that most pollsters have run polls on.
How embarrassing for a national newspaper to print such untrue nonsense.
Liddle has been spouting this nonsense since July without once checking whether it was true, and still hasn't found out it isn't in September https://twitter.com/WilliamClouston/status/1279147459076390913?s=19
The poll findings are interesting. Two thirds of ethnic minorities see their concerns about racism well reflected in the protests. White British opinion is mixed, moderate/contingent support to fencesitting centre of gravity https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1276913928887570437?s=19
You could have a rather more nuanced media debate if editors and producers were at least somewhat acquainted with these broad patterns of opinion.
