Nearly three quarters of Belfast Live readers surveyed believe Stormont rules should be changed to allow a devolved government to be restored in the DUP's absence.
Almost half think the party will "never" return to power-sharing following the Windsor Framework deal on Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol.
Less than 9% predict the DUP will revive the devolved institutions before May's council election, while almost 42% believe the party will resume power-sharing at some point after the election.

More than 1,600 votes were cast in each question in our online poll, which was launched last week after MPs overwhelmingly backed the Stormont Brake element of the Windsor Framework.
The DUP voted against it and has continued to express concerns about the new deal on Irish Sea trade checks aimed at resolving issues with the Protocol.
The largest unionist party has been blocking the re-establishment of Stormont's power-sharing Executive and Assembly in protest against the Protocol since last year.
More than 71% of those surveyed said DUP MPs were wrong to vote against the Stormont Brake, a mechanism which aims to give MLAs a greater say on new EU goods laws applying to Northern Ireland.
It received the backing of 515 MPs with just 29 against in a vote which was considered indicative of support for the entire deal.
The Windsor Framework was later formally adopted by the UK government and EU.
In our poll, more than 75% said the DUP should return to Stormont power-sharing now that MPs have backed the deal.
Some 73% said power-sharing rules should be changed to allow a devolved government to be restored in the DUP's absence.
Around 25% said the rules should not be changed, while the remainder were unsure.
The DUP has been able to block Stormont as its power-sharing structures require cross-community support from nationalists and unionists to function.
The party has refused to elect a new Assembly speaker, meaning no further business can be discussed - including the nomination of a First Minister and Deputy First Minister.
A DUP panel set up to assess the Windsor Framework was due to provide party leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson with a report by the end of March.
The party has previously said it will study the agreement in detail before reaching a "collective" decision on whether to end its Stormont boycott.
But Sir Jeffrey last week said the Windsor Framework was "insufficient", and that more work was needed to ensure arrangements "respect Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom and its internal market".
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak insisted the Windsor Framework "ensures proper sovereignty" for Northern Ireland and confirmed there would be no renegotiation.
He told MPs: "I remain hopeful that we can continue to have dialogue with all the parties in Northern Ireland."
Mr Sunak said he wanted to see power-sharing "up and running", adding that it was "what the people of Northern Ireland need and deserve".
