One might have thought the Queen's Diamond Jubilee would be an occasion to celebrate how much life in Britain has improved over the past sixty years.
Nearly two-thirds of people are worried about developing dementia, a poll has found. The survey, released to mark Dementia Awareness Week, found th...
Boris Johnson is on course to secure a second term as Mayor London, according to a poll published on Thursday. A survey conduced by YouGov for the ...

By the time this blog is online, the UK will be in the midst of a very important day of voting.
The game has changed; and with elections across much of Britain this week, the timing for the Conservatives could scarcely be worse. YouGov's latest poll for the Sunday Times puts them at 29%.
David Cameron has been urged to boost UK clean energy and reduce reliance on imported gas after a poll found a large majority of people backed a drive...
In a week of political misery, I've seen a chink of light, and it was in Ghent.
YouGov's lastest poll for the Sunday Times confirms the main messages from our immediate post-Budget poll for the Sun: that the Budget is seen as unfair, that most people disbelieve government assertions that the rich will end up paying more tax, that pensioners are being unfairly penalised - and that Tory support has slipped a little but without boosting Labour's rating.
YouGov's first post-Budget poll for the Sun finds that Wednesday's announcements have dented Conservative support; they are now on 34%. They have never been lower since the 2010 election, though they have touched this number on a few occasions.
British people generally have a higher regard for the Germans than the Germans have of the British; but people in both countries admire Sweden most of all.
I should not have been surprised, for only last week I reported YouGov's detailed survey that showed how most of us thought that our political system had a terrible reputation and, in particular, that politicians lied all the time.
A massive 51% of British women believe that we are yet to achieve equal standing in the workplace according to a survey conducted by us, MyDaily.co.uk...

Peter Kellner finds that most of us think that Britain’s welfare bill is too large, that they suspect millions of people of lying to claim benefits, and that we are divided on whether we can still afford to pay state pensions to the better-off.
Three out of four people think bosses at bailed-out banks should not get a bonus, according to research. And 58% of respondents to the YouGov poll,...
The politics of health reform are becoming ever more tangled. And the more tangled they become, the worse it will be for the Government. Last week I argued that, if David Cameron genuinely believes that the Health and Social Care Bill really will drive standards up and costs down, he should ignore the doubters and keep going. However, fresh YouGov research underlines the risks that he is running.
Syrian government forces have continued shelling the city of Homs for a fifth day in some of the heaviest bombardment seen so far, prompting the UN to...
In 1952, when Queen Elizabeth succeeded her father, Britain was broke. Meat, butter and sweets were still rationed. Abortion and homosexuality were illegal. Polio maimed thousands of children a year. Smog killed thousands of adults. Innocent people were sentenced to death. Plays were censored. Just 17 MPs were women.
Things have not worked out as the government hoped. 12 months ago it was predicting steady economic progress. In the event, growth in 2011 was less than 1%, and the economy ended the year slipping backwards.
Support for Labour is plummeting, according to new voter research. The latest Guardian ICM opinion poll puts the Tories on 40%, the party's highest...
YouGov's latest poll, showing the Conservatives five points ahead, made the front page of the Sunday Times and livened up the blogosphere.
I should start with an apology. This blog will have a special, and possibly unhealthy, appeal for political nerds. It addresses some technical issues to do with democratic theory and the detailed arithmetic of Scottish opinion.
Dear Nick, You have had a torrid fortnight. You hated David Cameron telling you he had vetoed a new European Union treaty. You endured mockery from your stance. You felt you had to stay away from the House of Commons when the Prime Minister reported back on the latest EU summit.
Almost twenty years ago, British troops regained control over a group of group of small, previously little-known, islands in the South Atlantic, and the Falklands Factor was born.
