In Great Britain, 42 percent would vote for the Democrats, 10 percent for the Republicans

On 3 November 2026, the institute YouGov published a survey on how people in Great Britain see the congressional election in the US. 2,355 adults in Great Britain were surveyed online on 1 and 2 November 2026 (YouGov, Dylan Difford and Matthew Smith).

Asked which party they would vote for if they lived in the US, 42 percent name the Democrats and 10 percent the Republicans. 17 percent would vote for neither, 31 percent do not know. YouGov sums this up as follows: “Four times as many Britons would back the Democrats than the Republicans”.

The answers differ according to the party the respondents vote for in Great Britain:

• Reform UK voters: 36 percent Republicans, 12 percent Democrats.
• Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green voters: 63 to 64 percent Democrats, 2 to 3 percent Republicans.
• 2024 Conservative voters: 32 percent Democrats, 14 percent Republicans, 54 percent neither or don't know.

Opinions are divided on the consequences of the election for Great Britain. 41 percent expect the result to have at least a fair amount of impact on life in Great Britain. 36 percent expect little or no impact.

For comparison, YouGov cites older figures of its own: in October 2026, 86 percent of Britons viewed the US president negatively and 10 percent positively. In August 2026, 61 percent viewed the US as a country negatively and 31 percent positively.

This is a snapshot of opinion in Great Britain, not a statement about the outcome of the election. Further surveys from other countries are under Reports. When the results come in is shown at election night.
