What Worries Denmark? - October 2025
What keeps Danes up at night? Ipsos’ What Worries Denmark survey diagnoses the biggest social and political problems by asking citizens their opinion on the most worrying issues in the nation. It provides a snapshot of the national mood and serves as a tracker that identifies short or long-term shifts in public feeling.
In October, we see notable changes in the categories of Defense and War. Concern about Defense has risen from 1.01% in September to 5.51% in October - the highest level this year. Concern about War has likewise increased markedly from 8.89% in September to 15.51% in October. This development can likely be viewed in light of the current international security situation, where increased media coverage of conflicts - and reports of drone sightings in Danish airspace - may have heightened concern in these areas.
