According to a new poll, Britons are predicting that 2025 will be a worse year for the country than 2024 – by a thumping two-to-one majority. The Telegraphhas the details.
Half of Britons believe next year will be worse than this year against only 23% who believe it will be better, according to the survey of more than 2,400 people by pollsters More in Common.
Nearly one in five (18%) believe it will be “much worse” with just over a quarter (27%) saying 2025 will remain the same.
Labour voters are more optimistic with 48% saying it will be better, against 30% who say it will be worse. Reform U.K. supporters are the most pessimistic, with 65% saying 2025 will be worse, although it was 64% among Tories.
More than two-thirds of the public believe Sir Keir’s Government will fail to deliver in 2025 on two key metrics – reducing the number of migrants crossing the Channel or reducing the number of people on NHS waiting lists.
Luke Tryl, Executive Director of More in Common, said the poll reflected a “pervasive sense of national gloom which has set upon us”. He attributed it to a double whammy of the public’s ongoing disillusionment with the Government combined with disappointment that Labour had failed to deliver on its “Change agenda”.
While they believe Sir Keir will remain in Number 10, little has changed, they say. Some 66% of the public say that Labour seems like “more of the same” compared with the previous government, while only 34% say they seem genuinely different.
