Eight-in-Ten Britons Say Country in a ‘Bad State’, Majority Expect it to Get Worse: Poll.
Getty ImagesThe number of people who think the United Kingdom is in a “bad state” continues to rise, polling has found, and a plurality think it’s doing worse than other Western countries.
Just one per cent of Britons think the country is in a “very good state”, polling by YouGov finds, while an overwhelming majority are much more pessimistic.
A massive 82 per cent of respondents said the UK is in a bad state, and 36 per cent viewing the country as being in a “very bad state”. This number has crept up slightly since the last time this question was asked by the pollster, with 80 per cent saying “bad state” last Spring, just before the UK’s previous general election.
While a two per cent increase in total bad feeling isn’t huge, overall pessimism was shown by the YouGov figures to have soared massively that time by the number of people who say they believe things will get worse. Breitbart.
