"A total of 45% of respondents said either it should be abolished, was not at all important or not very important."

Not categories I would have combined in an analytical report.

Agreed. I for one feel that it’s not very important, and I wouldn’t implement a monarchy if designing a country from scratch, but I also wouldn’t remove the current one.

To me, a newspaper combining those groups says "most Britons in favour of a monarchy with some power, but we don't want to admit that" more than anything.

[mytailorisrich]

People who say they are indifferent do not support the Monarchy and just live with it. So there is a reasonable argument for combining those categories of your aim is to sample support.

Ask Americans or the French what they think of their republic and I doubt 45% will be against or indifferent.

Agreed. The distinction between indifference to and desire to remove is quite strong
