Are More Likely To Trust The Royal Army (83%), The Police (75%), And
Religious Leaders (63%) Than They Are
To Trust Political Actors (Click for

these trust levels represent improvements after drastic declines between 2015
and 2018. For example, the proportion of respondents who express trust in the
prime minister has doubled to 36%, after dropping from 43% to 18% in 2018;
35% say they trust members of Parliament (MPs), up from 13% after falling
from 30% in 2015; and 37% trust local government councilors, double the
proportion recorded in 2018 (18%) after a decline from 29% in 2015. (Afrobarometer) 24

731-04 Labor
Almost Close The Gap On The Economy As
Sunak’s Job Approval Ratings Enter Negative Territory (Click for Details) (UK) Political
commentators often say that one of Labour’s
greatest barriers to office is convincing the public that it can be trusted
with the public purse. While their Conservative rivals enjoy something of a
default ‘good economic management’ position. Firstly, Labour
have once again narrowed the gap between themselves and the Conservatives on
the question of “who would best manage the economy”. Today’s figures show
just a three-point lead for Johnson’s party. While 27% of the public think “a
Conservative government led by Boris Johnson” would manage the economy
better, 24% believe the country would be better served by “a Labour government led by Keir Starmer”.

Half (46%) Of Britons Think UK
Government Is Relaxing COVID Rules Too Quickly (Click for

Ipsos has found that 46% of Britons believe that the UK Government is
relaxing Coronavirus restrictions too quickly. While half (51%) of those who

coronavirus restrictions, still over a third (35%) of those voters believe
that the restrictions are being relaxed too quickly. Labour
voters are even more pessimistic with only 1 in 4 (25%) saying that this is
about the right time to relax these restrictions. Throughout the pandemic,
Ipsos data has consistently shown that few people think the Government was
being too slow in removing restrictions. (Ipsos MORI) 24 February 2022 4.11 Society »

stands out clearly, cryptos are no longer a niche subject for the French.
Indeed, 77% of them have already heard of the subject, and 8% have already invested in cryptos
, whether cryptocurrencies or NFTs. The share of French people holding
cryptos is therefore today higher than the share of French people holding own
shares (6.7% according to the AMF). Their adoption should increase in the
months and years to come: 30% of
people want to invest . Taking conservative
assumptions, we can project that more than 12% of French people will
own cryptos at the end of the year . (Ipsos France) February 21, 2022 3.8 Economy »

Six In Ten Britons
Support A Scheme To Resettle Ukrainian
Refugees In The UK With the Russian
invasion of Ukraine in full swing, it has been reported that by the
UN refugee agency that 100,000 Ukrainians have been internally
displaced by the conflict. More are likely to
flee as the conflict progresses, with the Polish deputy interior
minister saying Poland needs to
prepare for up to a million refugees. Other countries
bordering Ukraine, like Romania, Slovakia, Moldova and Hungary, are also
reportedly preparing for an influx of people. What should Britain’s
contribution to the humanitarian crisis be? Six in ten Britons (63%) say that
they would support the UK introducing a scheme to resettle some Ukrainian
refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. Only 18% are opposed. On the more specific
question of exactly how many Ukrainian refugees should be accepted, the most
common answer was “a few thousand”, which a figure equivalent to 17% of the
general population picked*, followed by “a few tens of thousands”, at 14%.
Another 9% would be willing to welcome “a few hundreds of thousands”. Labour voters are more
willing to offer refuge to greater numbers of Ukrainians: 31% say the UK
should accept a few tens or a few hundreds of thousands, compared to 14%
of Conservatives. Asked whether they
believe the UK has a moral obligation to offer asylum to Ukrainian refugees,
half of Britons (50%) say that we do. A third (32%) believe that we do not. Two thirds of Labour
voters say Britain has a moral obligation to offer asylum to Ukrainians
fleeing the war. Conservative voters tend to think the country has no special
obligation to do so, by 47% to 38%. *
Only those who said that they would support setting up a resettlement scheme
for Ukrainian refugees were asked how many refugees should be resettled. For
simplicity of understanding, the results above have been recalculated to show
them as a percentage of the entire population (YouGov UK) February 25, 2022 |
