Data Sources & Methodology
Data points featured in this tracker represent intra-month rollups of daily surveys. Bar chart values correspond to the latest full month of data; countries in that chart are sorted by the total share of adults expressing 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.
