    Ahead of a major global election year, populism remains strong

    Paris, February 15th, 2024 - Ipsos, one of the world's leading market research companies, releases a study across 28 countries highlighting the strength of populism in these countries. It notably unveils the following key findings:

    • Anti-establishment views are widespread, reflecting frustrations with inequality, slower growth, and the inability for governments to deliver. In a significant election year, 63% of people on average across 28 countries1 believe their country needs “a strong leader to take the country back from the rich and powerful”.

    • Populist sentiment is fuelled by a general sense among respondents that their country is in decline (58%) and that society is broken (57%), even in countries with good GDP growth.

    • When jobs are scarce, 59% favour employers prioritizing hiring “people of this country” over immigrants.

    • Majority (62%) see elites as a closely connected group with similar views on many important issues.

    • Most want a stronger, more activist government, even given the anti-establishment fervour: Seventy-five percent support governments increasing their spending on healthcare, and 67% support governments increasing funding toward poverty reduction. Similarly, Ipsos’ Global Trends study finds that 74% fear their government will not provide enough support in the future.

    Ipsos will be polling on elections around the world and will continue tracking these attitudes.
