According to YouGov's most recent data point, the percentage of all adults who approve of the UK Government’s record was 16% as of March 30, 2026 (https://yougov.com/en-gb/trackers/government-approval). This market will resolve to "Up" if the next data point released for "all adults" who "approve of the Government’s record to date" is higher than 16%. This market will resolve to "Down" if the next respective data point released is lower than 16%. This market will resolve to 50-50 if the next respective data point released is exactly 16%, or if no new data point is published by 11:59 PM ET on the tenth day after the date on which the latest data point has been published. This market will resolve as soon as a qualifying data point has been published. This market will resolve solely based on the approval tracker "Do you approve or disapprove of the Government’s record to date?" by YouGov (https://yougov.com/en-gb/trackers/government-approval). If the website is temporarily unavailable, the market will remain open until it is accessible again. Note: Only the specified source will be used for resolution, regardless of methodological changes or projections by other sources.Persistent low approval for the UK government, reflected in net ratings near -49% and Keir Starmer’s favorability around -44 to -46, stems from Labour’s heavy losses in the May local and devolved elections and Reform UK’s rising support in voting-intention polls. Traders see limited scope for immediate reversal given ongoing concerns over the economy and immigration, yet the weekly resolution window allows for potential stabilization if no further negative catalysts emerge or if minor policy or economic updates provide temporary relief. The near-even odds capture this balance between entrenched dissatisfaction and the possibility of short-term polling fluctuations.
