Ar 4 Gorffennaf 2024 bydd Etholiad Cyffredinol yn cael ei gynnal yn y DU.
Er mwyn helpu darlledwyr i wneud penderfyniadau golygyddol yn ystod yr ymgyrch etholiadol, rydym yn cyhoeddi crynodeb o dystiolaeth o gefnogaeth etholiadol yn y gorffennol (h.y. canlyniadau etholiadau) a thystiolaeth o gefnogaeth gyfredol (ar ffurf arolygon barn). Mae'r crynodeb hwn hefyd yn nodi'r ffactorau yr ydym yn eu hystyried wrth wneud penderfyniadau ar raglennu sy'n gysylltiedig ag etholiadau, gan gynnwys rhoi mwy o bwyslais ar dystiolaeth o gefnogaeth etholiadol yn y gorffennol yn hytrach na thystiolaeth o gefnogaeth gyfredol (e.e. arolygon barn).
