Report summary

Chart pack highlights include:

Methodology
Data points featured in this chart pack represent one-month rollups of daily surveys. Bar chart values correspond to the latest full month of data; countries in those charts are sorted by the total shares of adults expressing espousing far-left and far-right political views. Far-left and far-right correspond to values of 0 and 7 on a seven-point ideology scale.
All data was collected through Morning Consult’s proprietary survey research capabilities. All interviews are conducted online. Data is weighted to approximate representative samples of adults in each country. Weighting parameters and target populations vary by country.
Consult our Global Political Intelligence Methodology Primer for additional details on sampling and data collection procedures, weighting and representativeness, margins of error, and question wording.
Commercial Data Access: All data featured in this tracker derives from Morning Consult Political Intelligence, our flagship data product measuring political attitudes in 43 countries on a daily basis. Contact us with commercial inquiries.
