Fascinating polling from YouGov. Some headlines:

Of the polled ideologies, ‘Environmentalism’ and ‘Feminism’ are the most popular, with clear majorities having favourable views of both (66% and 56% respectively). Majorities of Labour, Lib Dem, Green and even Conservative voters say they approve of both (Conservatives only very narrowly for feminism), as do all age groups. But the age-group most in favour of environmentlism are 50-64 year-olds.

‘Liberalism’ and ‘Socialism’ are both more popular than ‘Conservatism’.

Virtually nobody will admit they have a favourable view of ‘Fascism’, even Reform voters (4%) - but a majority of Reform voters have favourable views of ‘Nationalism’

    Historically, ‘libertarian’ was a leftwing ideology. It’s only a fairly recent and, even then, a fairly American development that it was co-opted by Ayn Rand types. Then there are people like Noam Chomsky, who calls himself a ‘libertarian socialist’. Presumably some such people would have expressed a favourable view of both libertarianism and socialism given this survey.
