This month has seen Ipsos MORI’s Economic Optimism Index reach record levels (LINK), with 53% of Britons now expecting to see an improvement in the economy over the next 12 months.
This turnaround in economic confidence is underlined by the latest findings from the Ipsos Economic Pulse – a monthly tracker of the global mood, running in 25 countries.
In April 2013, just 13% of the British public said the economy was in “good shape”. Now that figure stands at 37%.

With 400 days until the referendum on Scotland’s constitutional future, Ipsos MORI teamed up with journalist and broadcaster Steve Richards to look at the state of play in the polls and what ‘game changers’ might lie ahead in the year ahead. Mark Diffley looked at the number and profile of undecided voters and the information they are looking for ahead of the vote.

Citizens in 24 Countries Assess the Current State of their Country’s Economy for a Total Global Perspective
These are the findings of the Global @dvisor Wave 19 (G@19), an Ipsos survey conducted between March 2nd and March 14th. Interviews were completed prior to the first earthquakes in Japan.
The survey instrument is conducted monthly in 24 countries around the world via the Ipsos Online Panel system. The countries reporting herein are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America.
For the results of the survey presented herein, an international sample of 18,829 adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all other countries, were interviewed. Approximately 1000+ individuals participated on a country by country basis via the Ipsos Online Panel with the exception of Argentina, Belgium, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey, where each have a sample approximately 500+.
Weighting was employed to balance demographics and ensure the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent country Census data available and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of +/-3.1 percentage points for a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points for a sample of 500. 19 times out of 20 per country of what the results would have been had the entire population of adults in that country had been polled.

When it comes to having a license to lead and operate in the energy space, the stakes are high, and trust and reputation are critical. Edelman works with clients to look at their business objectives through a lens of trust.
This document provides information from the 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer, which measures trust in institutions globally. Some key findings include:
- Trust is rising globally, with a 5 point increase among the informed public and a 3 point rise for the general population compared to 2015 levels.
- However, a significant trust gap exists between the informed public and the mass population. In 16 of 25 countries, this gap increased from 2012 to 2016, with a 5 point jump among the top 5 global economies.
- Many countries have a double-digit trust gap between the informed public and mass population, with the US having the largest 19 point difference. Income inequality is also linked to lower trust levels.
This document introduces the 2020 Government AI Readiness Index published by Oxford Insights and the International Development Research Centre. It finds that the US ranks first in overall readiness, while Western European nations like the UK and Germany also score highly. China ranks surprisingly low at 19th due to its focus on implementation over readiness factors. Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean score lowest on average. A new sub-index on responsible AI use finds Nordic countries leading, while the US and UK score lower. The report aims to help governments understand gaps and strengths to improve their AI readiness and ensure its responsible development and use.

The document summarizes views from an Ipsos online community on Brexit 5 years after the referendum vote. Most people feel they have not noticed significant changes from Brexit yet and think the pandemic has overshadowed its effects. While some notice higher costs or shipping delays from EU countries, many are still confused about attributing rising prices to Brexit or Covid. There remains a divide between those who voted Leave and Remain, with both sides still convinced of their views despite most saying they have not been personally affected much either way. Overall, uncertainty persists around how Brexit will truly impact daily life.

Ipsos Global Advisor: The Perils of Perception: Environment and Climate ChangeIpsos UK
The document discusses a survey conducted in 30 markets about individual actions to tackle climate change. While most people agreed they understand the actions needed, there were widespread misperceptions. Respondents underestimated the most impactful actions like having fewer children and overestimated less important actions like recycling. They also lacked awareness of climate impacts already occurring. The document examines perceptions of various individual actions. Respondents correctly identified some high-impact options but overestimated others like reducing packaging and underestimated important actions like home renovations for efficiency.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, women of all ages across Britain are more pessimistic and worried than their male counterparts. This new webinar explores why.
Looking at data around the balance of responsibility and mental load at work and at home for women compared to men, the additional stresses that the pandemic has put on women of all ages, and the specific damages it has made to women's work-life balances and future ability to progress in a career, our expert speakers will examine how the disease - despite being more prevalent in men - might be more damaging to women.
Ipsos has analysed data from more than 2,000 women of working age across Britain to examine what is happening, explore the causes and explain what can be done to better support those women being hit hardest by the pandemic.

Economic optimism has fallen to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor. The new poll, conducted between 13-16 March, so before some of this week’s emergency measures were announced, shows seven in ten (69%) now say they think the economy will get worse in the next 12 months – this is up from 42% in February. Just 15% think that the economy will improve, leaving an Economic Optimism Index score of -54. The last time pessimism was this low was in November 2008 (at its worst during the 2008 crisis 75% thought the economy would get worse). Despite this pessimism, around half (49%) believe the Government is handling the coronavirus outbreak well (35% say badly).

The key findings of the November 2019 edition of our new Social Media Britain report - powered by Synthesio - include:
Overall Brexit continued to lead the conversation in November – however there was a 59% increase in NHS related mentions vs. October. This was driven in part by Corbyn revealing documents that he says indicate a Conservative government would sell off the NHS as part of a US trade deal.
The general election, which is the focus of our deep dive this month, as well as the London Bridge terror attack - both contributed to sizeable shifts in social conversation.
Following the ITV Leaders Debate, there was a sharp increase in conversation around the general election. The release of the Labour and Conservative manifestos seeing further spikes in volume towards the end of November.
When comparing Johnson and Corbyn activity on Twitter in November there were some notable differences in the focus of their posts. Whilst Brexit was mentioned across 42% of Johnson’s tweets – it was only mentioned within 6% of Corbyn’s. Corbyn focused mainly on the NHS, which was mentioned in just over a third of his tweets.

• The survey instrument Global @dvisor is conducted monthly in 24 countries via the Ipsos Online Panel system. A 25th
country, Egypt, was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology.
• For the results of the survey herein, an total sample of 19,605 adults age 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all
other countries, was interviewed between April 1st to April 15th 2014. Approximately 1000+ individuals were surveyed in
Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States of America.
Approximately 500+ individuals were surveyed in Argentina, Belgium, Hungary, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi
Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey.
• The results reported include n=560 in Egypt, a 25th country included in the Global Economic Pulse, conducted April 20th-
27th.. The sample in Egypt was conducted via CATI (telephone) methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.1% points, 19
times out of 20.
∙ In addition to above mentioned sample, the results in this report include n=509 fielded in the Republic of Ireland. The sample
in Ireland was conducted via online methodology and has a margin of error of +/- 4.3% points, 19 times out of 20.
• In countries where internet penetration is approximately 60% or higher the data output is comparable the general population.
Of the 24 countries surveyed online, 15 yield results that are balanced to reflect the general population: Argentina, Australia,
Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United
States. The nine remaining countries surveyed –Brazil (45.6% Internet penetration among the citizenry), China (41%), India
(11.4%), Indonesia (22.1%), Mexico (36.5%), Russia (47.7%), Saudi Arabia (49%), South Africa (17.4%) and Turkey
(45.7%)—have lower levels of connectivity therefore are not reflective of the general population; however, the online sample in
these countries are particularly valuable in their own right as they are more urban/educated/income than their fellow citizens
and are often referred to as “Upper Deck Consumer Citizens”.
• The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5
percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility
intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.
These are the findings of the Global @dvisor Wave 56 (G@56),
an Ipsos survey conducted between April 1st to April 15th , 2014.

Analytic Components…
There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report.
Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:
• Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current
economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat
bad or very bad?
The currently perceived macroeconomic state of
the respondent’s country:
• Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7,
where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
The currently perceived state of the local economy:
• Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local
area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or
much weaker than it is now?

Global Economic Pulse Welcomes Ireland This Month
Globally, a glimmer of hope appears as four in ten (39%) of respondents around the
world rate their national economies as ‘good,’ up one point from last month.
The Global Economic Pulse welcomes Ireland this month for one-time participation in
the dataset, also known as “plug and play”. Irish respondents reflect national economic
confidence sentiments similar to the global average (34% rate national economy as
‘good’, compared with 39% overall) and slightly weaker sentiments related to their local
economy (17% in Ireland compared with 28% overall). Two in ten (22%) expect the
local economy to be stronger in the next six months, compared with one quarter (26%)
in all countries surveyed.
Kieran O’Leary, Public Affairs Research Director in the Ipsos Dublin office:
“After six years of turmoil in the Irish economy, confidence has
been returning recently. This is a common theme across numerous
consumer confidence surveys, including our own local measurement
which is standing at its highest point in 10 years. With falling
unemployment levels and, more recently, rising house prices,
consumers are feeling more bullish about the prospects for the
economy. However these increases are likely quite fragile and
with a range of new tax measures hitting the economy during
2014, consumer confidence could yet fall back again.”
