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).

Ipsos MORI Social Media Britain November 2019Ipsos UK
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.
NHS surges in final Issues Index ahead of the 2019 General Election
• The proportion of Britons who say the NHS is one of the most important issues facing the country has risen 18 percentage points since October to 54 per cent, close to Brexit which has fallen by six points to 57 per cent this month
• Brexit remains the single biggest issue by a long way and is also the most important issue influencing how people might vote
• Concern about crime and pollution has fallen while worry about the economy has spiked
Boris Johnson’s favourability rating increases sharply, with the Conservative Party’s image also showing some improvement
By a small margin, the public now think the country is heading in the right direction
One in two Britons are yet to form a view new Labour leader Keir Starmer. Those who do express a view expect him to improve the party’s fortunes by a seven-to-one margin
Public Perception of Environmental Impact: Ipsos Omnibus PollIpsos UK
As concern about the environment continues to rise, 81% of Britons believe that the Government should take partial or full responsibility for reducing the harm we do to the environment. Within this, 1 in 5 believe the Government should take main responsibility while 61% believe it should be split between the Government, Businesses and the public, an Ipsos MORI Omnibus Survey has found.
Public Attitudes towards immigration: August 2019Ipsos UK
In the latest survey by Ipsos MORI for IMIX, more Britons believe migration has had a positive impact on Britain (47%) than a negative effect (29%). Those who voted to remain in the EU in 2016 are significantly less likely to believe migration has a negative impact on Britain. Only 12% of remainers think so, compared to almost of (47%) of leave voters. However, while remainers’ views have stayed broadly stable since October 2016, leavers have become less negative (six percentage point down from 53%).
Still, over half of Britons (54%) say they want to see the number of immigrants coming to Britain reduced. Three in ten would like to see numbers stay the same while only 9% want an increase. However, there has been a continuing decrease in the level of disagreement over the last four years. In June 2015, two-thirds (66%) of respondents wanted to see a reduction in the number of immigrants coming to Britain, 12 percentage points higher than it is today.
While a majority want to see a reduction in the overall numbers of immigrants, when asked about specific occupations the public’s opinion is more nuanced. In fact, almost half say they want to see an increase in the number of nurses (49%) and doctors (47%) coming to the UK from the European Union after Britain leaves– consistent with findings from December 2018. However, compared to six months ago more people want to see an increase in care home workers (32% vs 28%) and academics (29% vs 22%).
The effects of immigration continue to split opinion. While 30% believe immigration is good for the standard of living for people already living in Britain, 36% disagree. Furthermore, two-thirds (67%) believe that migration puts pressure on public services and housing. People are also divided over the integration of cultures. Half of Britons (49%) agree that immigration enriches the UK culture and makes it a more interesting place to live, however six in ten (61%) believe that too often, migrants don’t integrate or follow British customs.
Opinion is also split on how Brexit will impact immigration. A quarter (26%) of Britons believe the number of immigrants entering the UK illegally from other EU countries will increase while one in five (21%) believe it will decrease. A third (34%) believe it will stay the same.
Dissatisfaction with the government’s response to immigration has remained the same since Boris Johnson entered No. 10. In December 2018, 57% felt dissatisfied with how Theresa May’s government was dealing with immigration, while 59% are dissatisfied with Boris Johnson’s actions so far.

New research from Ipsos MORI finds the major housing parties included in Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat manifestos are popular, but the public also have strong doubts that anyone will improve housing if elected.
Shifting ground: Changing attitudes to immigrationIpsos UK
This Ipsos MORI draws together all seven waves of this study which has followed public opinion before and after key political events – from the 2015 General Election to the EU referendum in June 2016. The research, funded by Unbound Philanthropy, gives us a profile of the population and the wider context of values that form people’s perceptions about one of the most divisive issues of our time.
Sexual orientation and attitudes to LGBTQ+ in BritainIpsos UK
New Ipsos MORI research shows that Britons think LGBTQ+ communities face discrimination in Britain today, but opinion is split regarding the progression of LGBTQ+ rights.
British Attitudes to Immigration: March 2018Ipsos UK
Just under half (44%) say that migration has had a positive impact on Britain according to a new Ipsos MORI survey among British adults aged 18-75. Three in ten (30%) say migration’s impact has been negative on the country while one in five (20%) say its impact has been neutral. These findings are consistent with previous research by Ipsos MORI which found the British public’s attitudes towards migration have become more positive since the referendum.
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.

The July 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index confirms that Brexit remains the biggest issue facing Britain for a majority of the public.
Six in ten mention Brexit as one of the biggest issues facing the country (60%).
Four in ten see the NHS as a big issue for the country, while a quarter say the same about crime.
In a unique survey, Ipsos MORI will be interviewing a longitudinal panel of respondents on their attitudes to immigration throughout and after the election campaign.
This will provide a much more detailed understanding of how and why views change.
For the first wave we have also interviewed an unusually large sample of the public (over 4,500), which allows us to look at smaller sub-groups, including followers of all key parties and those who have switched parties since the last election.
As MPs continue to debate the nature of Britain’s exit from the European Union, the March Issues Index shows that public concern about Brexit remains at historically high levels.
On 6 December 2017, in Central London, we looked back at the events of 2017 and explored whether we’re looking to the future through a lens of pessimism or optimism. Ben Page also outlined findings from our global survey – Perils of Perception – where we examine people across 33 countries and look at how wrong we are about the society we live in, from predicting the levels of immigration and obesity to guessing how many people have access to the internet.
The January 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index confirms that Brexit remains the biggest issue facing Britain for a majority of the public. Sixty-three per cent name it as a worry – while this is a small drop from December (67%) it remains an historically high level of concern about this issue.
The September 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index shows Brexit maintaining its position as the biggest issue facing Britain. Two thirds of Britons mention Brexit as a big issue (65%) and almost six in ten see it as the single biggest worry (57%) – a 10 percentage point increase since last month.
With the nature and timing of Britain’s exit from the European Union remaining uncertain, the April Ipsos MORI Issues Index shows public concern about Brexit again reaching the highest level of concern recorded about European issues since the Index began in September 1974. By contrast, worry about immigration has fallen to a two-decade low.
Ipsos MORI - Social Britain September 2019Ipsos UK
For the past several months, Ipsos MORI has been monitoring social media conversation about key political and societal topics. We have now decided to release this information. While this does not cover every topic that British social media users discuss, it gives us a good view of how much people are posting about and engaging with posts about key topics. We discovered these by focusing first on what comes up most in political forums and then writing queries about all of those topics to track them amongst more general social media posts by individuals and organisations (including the media).
In September – as in every month for the past year, Brexit and Europe are most discussed – which is consistent to its being mentioned as the top issue facing Britain in Ipsos MORI’s Issues Index. However, Brexit has not always been the star. A year ago crime was most posted about. Indeed, crime posts can generate greater engagement (interactions, measured by likes, shares, reactions) at times than Brexit posts. Greta Thunberg’s speech in the UN managed more interactions than either topic on the day. The award for most interactions in the month, however, went to Brexit at the beginning of the month, when people were engaging with content about no deal and also sharing pictures of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s recumbent position in Parliament.
Interestingly, although Jeremy Corbyn has a higher total reach based on our topics than Boris Johnson does, Boris’s posts on these topics generate more interactions (which can be positive or negative) than any other influencer during September.
Coronavirus Opinion and Reaction - Ipsos MORIIpsos UK
A new global poll by Ipsos MORI shows the extent to which the UK public may change their behaviours because of the threat of the virus, including 14% saying they would avoid contact with people of Chinese origin or appearance.
The threat of the Covid-19 could have a significant impact on the UK public’s behaviour, according to an Ipsos survey conducted online from February 7 to 9, 2020 among 8,001 adults aged 16 (18) -74 in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Two-thirds of people in the UK say they would consider avoiding travelling to infected countries or areas (65%), while three in ten would avoid large gatherings of people or travelling by air for holidays (both 29%). A quarter say they would avoid shaking hands with others (26%), and one in five say they would avoid travelling by public transport (22%).
This study did not have any external sponsors or partners. It was initiated and run by Ipsos with the intention to share our understanding about the world we live in and how citizens around the globe think and feel about their world.
Ipsos MORI Political Monitor - October 2017Ipsos UK
As the Brexit negotiations continue Ipsos MORI’s latest Political Monitor reveals little confidence among the public that the Prime Minister will get a good deal for Britain. Three in five (60%) are either ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ confident in the PM getting a good deal – just over a third (36%) are either ‘very’ or ‘fairly’ confident in her. Nonetheless two-thirds (66%) of Conservative supporters have confidence that she will strike a good deal compared with one in five (19%) Labour supporters and quarter (26%) of Liberal Democrats. Overall few members of the public think Theresa May is doing a good job handling Brexit. A third (32%) say she is doing a good job but a majority (55%) say she is doing a bad job. Neither of these measures show any real change since last asked in July, but both are down from Mrs May’s ratings before the election.
These slides were presented by Ben Page, CEO, Ipsos MORI and Gideon Skinner, Head of Political Research, Ipsos MORI at our breakfast briefing on 10th April 2015. As well as Ben and Gideon, the panel featured Vicky Pryce, Chief Economic Adviser at the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) and Joe Murphy, Political Editor at The Evening Standard.

Ipsos MORI Political Monitor July 2018: Views of Donald TrumpIpsos UK
Two-thirds (68%) of the British public have an unfavourable opinion of US President Donald Trump, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Political Monitor. With fieldwork one week after his visit to the UK, the new poll reveals that just one in five (19%) have a favourable opinion, one in nine (11%) say they see him as neither favourable nor unfavourable, but half (52%) feel very unfavourable towards him.
Women are more likely to feel unfavourable towards the President than men (75% vs. 60% respectively) as are young people – three-quarters (76%) of 18-34s are also negative compared with 64% of 35-54s and 65% of people ages 55 and above. Labour supporters are especially unfavourable (by 82% to 12%), while Conservative supporters are also negative (by a margin of 61% to 23%). However, although the figures are not positive for the President they are not as poor as when last asked in October 2016 when 7% were favourable towards Mr Trump and 84% unfavourable.
The July 2019 Ipsos MORI Political Monitor shows some good news for the Conservatives as new Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes office. Mr Johnson’s personal poll ratings have improved, especially among his own supporters, and he leads Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on several leadership metrics. However, Mr Johnson’s satisfaction ratings are worse than other Prime Ministers taking office mid-parliament and the public remain divided over potential Brexit outcomes. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have a ten-point lead over Labour among ‘likely voters’, which is partly due to an increased enthusiasm among Conservatives saying they are certain to vote.

As pressure mounts on Theresa May to step down Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor reveals no clear public favourite amongst the Conservative rivals for the Premiership.
When asked if each contender has what it takes to be a good Prime Minister none of the potential candidates stand out as a clear favourite with little shift in this figures since March this year. Boris Johnson has the largest number of Britons believing he has what it takes at with a quarter (25%) agreeing – however two-thirds (64%) disagree, which is also the highest negative number. Following Boris Johnson one in five (20%) think Sajid Javid has what it takes however almost half (47%) disagree.
The latest Ipsos MORI Political Monitor shows an increase in the proportion of the British public thinking the Prime Minister should step down as soon as possible, and her worst ratings yet for having what it takes to be a good Prime Minister. However, despite how poorly the British public believe the Brexit process has gone, Theresa May is still viewed more favourable than Jeremy Corbyn and her potential Conservative successors.
Most Britons are not very confident that Theresa May will get a good deal for Britain from the Brexit negotiations, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Political Monitor.

This shows a slight drop from March when 37% said they were confident and 59% were not confident, and down from 44% with confidence in her in March 2017.

While there is some variation across party lines supporters of all parties are pessimistic the funding will lead to improvements - a quarter (23%) of Conservative voters believe the amount is enough to lead to improvements compared with 8% of Labour voters. More than half (55%) of Conservative voters and 47% of Labour voters think the amount is enough to maintain current levels, while one in five (21%) Conservatives and two in five (40%) Labour voters think it will still get worse).

Nevertheless, she still leads Jeremy Corbyn (27%), and potential leadership challenger, Boris Johnson (25%), albeit at a narrowing margin. Fieldwork for this poll was conducted before the summit in Salzburg amongst EU leaders.
Ipsos MORI December Political Monitor 2018Ipsos UK
As Parliament gets ready to vote on the Withdrawal Agreement next week Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor reveals most of the public believe withdrawing from the EU on its terms will be bad for Britain. The poll shows six in ten (62%) think withdrawing under this deal will be bad for the UK as a whole (25% say good), including 47% of Conservatives (40% of whom think it would be good). This is worse than the reaction to the Prime Minister’s Chequers deal in July when 47% thought it would be bad for the country.

Ipsos MORI February 2019 Political MonitorIpsos UK
Before Jeremy Corbyn wrote to Theresa May outlining the changes he wants made to her Withdrawal Agreement, Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor shows that his satisfaction ratings have fallen to their lowest ever levels. Fewer than one in five (17%) say that they are satisfied with the way Jeremy Corbyn is doing his job as Leader of the Opposition (down from 27% in December), which is the lowest recorded for a Labour leader since Michael Foot, who dropped to 13% in August 1982. Meanwhile, nearly three in four (72%) say they are dissatisfied with his performance, putting his net-satisfaction at -55. This compares with Mrs May who despite a trying start to 2019, only drops three points since December, and is now on -25. Even among Labour party supporters, under half (44%) say they are satisfied with Mr Corbyn, while 46% say they are dissatisfied, meaning that his net-satisfaction among party supporters dips into negative figures (-2) for the first time since the 2017 General Election campaign.

Mrs May’s ratings are well ahead of those for Andrea Leadsom and Boris Johnson. One in five (18%) think that Andrea Leadsom has what it takes to be a good PM (20% among Conservative voters), and 21% say the same about Boris Johnson (23% among Conservative voters). Mr Johnson’s ratings have fallen since last year – now 70% disagree he has what it takes, up from 52% last July. Fieldwork was conducted 9-11 July, with the vast majority carried out before Andrea Leadsom retired from the race.
As the Conservative leadership contest gathers pace, Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor reveals that there is little to choose between Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson in terms of public opinion.

While the public in NATO member states tend to see the Alliance as a force for good, favourability is low in a number of key member states, according to a new survey ahead of the NATO Leaders Meeting on 4 December.
The research, by the Policy Institute at King’s College London and Ipsos MORI, finds that across 11 NATO countries surveyed1, 43% of the public who know at least a little about the Alliance have a favourable view of it, while 14% have an unfavourable view and 43% have a neutral view.
Favourability towards NATO is highest in Poland (60%), the US (56%), Canada (55%) and Britain (50%), but low in some key member states:
Germany: 30%
France: 31%
Italy: 35%
Spain 29%
But in the NATO countries polled, more people agree (40%) than disagree (14%) that the organisation is a force for good in the world, while 26% have a neutral view.
Global Infrastructure Index 2019 - Great BritainIpsos UK
Four in ten Britons, 40%, choose solar energy infrastructure from a list of 14 sectors as a priority for investment in Britain, with 36% choosing wind energy. Flood defences (39%) and rail infrastructure (39%) are also among top priorities.
Environmental impact is top-ranked among seven possible considerations in planning future infrastructure plans by 28% - up from 19% in a similar question asked in 2017 - followed by achieving the highest possible quality (21%) and future resilience (17%). Local disruption and private/public ownership of infrastructure are most likely to be ranked bottom of all factors.
Just over a fifth (22%) agree that increased spending on infrastructure should be funded by higher taxes or government borrowing, but 53% think public spending is already high so that taxes and government borrowing should not be increased to improve infrastructure. Six in ten, 62%, would prefer technical experts rather than elected politicians to make decisions about new infrastructure, and by 57% to 14% Britons choose maintaining and repairing existing infrastructure before spending on new infrastructure.
The findings come from the latest Global Infrastructure Index survey conducted by Ipsos MORI in partnership with the GIIA in 28 countries across the world including Britain.

Oxford Citizens Assembly on Climate ChangeIpsos UK
Following Oxford City Council’s declaration of a climate emergency in January 2019, Ipsos MORI were commissioned to conduct a Citizens Assembly on Climate Change in Oxford. Ipsos MORI recruited 50 Oxford residents to be Assembly Members who met over two weekends. They were tasked with responding to the following question: “The UK has legislation to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. Should Oxford be more proactive and seek to achieve ‘net zero’ sooner than 2050?”, as well as discussing five key themes: waste reduction, buildings, transport, biodiversity & offsetting and renewable energy.
NHS workforce - Omnibus Survey by Ipsos MORIIpsos UK
A recent Omnibus survey by Ipsos MORI shows that four in five (79%) believe that the NHS does not have enough staff to provide a good service, only 7% believe that it has the right amount, while 6% think it has too many. Therefore, pessimism about the future of staff shortages comes as no great surprise. Overall, 56% believe that staff shortages will get worse over the next few years and this rises to 64% among those who think there are currently not enough staff.
Just over four in five (83%) also believe that NHS staff are currently overworked. The pre-war generation are less likely to believe this than younger generations, with only 69% agreeing compared with 84% to 85% across younger generations.
With widespread belief that NHS staff are overworked and that this is likely to get worse, it is perhaps unsurprising that only half of the public (50%) would encourage a friend or family member to consider a career in the NHS. Those close to the NHS (i.e. those who either work in the NHS or have a close family member or friend working for the NHS) are more likely to suggest it as a career path than those that do not have a connection (57% and 47% respectively). Similarly, three in five of those that are close to the NHS (60%) believe that it is a good employer, while this decreases to half of those without an affiliation (50%).
World Questions: What helps or hinders women's equality?Ipsos UK

The October 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index confirms that Brexit remains the biggest concern facing Britain in the eyes of the public. Two thirds of Britons mention Britain’s exit from the EU as a big issue (63%), similar to the September score of 65 per cent, while just over half see it as the single biggest worry (52%). Fieldwork was carried out while MPs were voting on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal but prior to decision to call a General Election.
In the latest Ipsos MORI poll, with fieldwork conducted before the election was called, the Conservatives have taken a 17-point lead over Labour, significantly improving on their position in September.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
