The Left suffered a record-low average of just 45% of votes in dozens of ballots held globally last year, according to the analysis of 73 democratic elections, conducted by the Telegraph.
In the United States and Western Europe, progressives were even more unpopular — with the left-leaning parties securing only 42% of their respective votes.
The Right, meanwhile, won 57% of the average votes — representing the widest gap since 1990, the analysis found.
The global demise of the political left comes off the back of President-elect Donald Trump's landslide election win.

Jeremy Cliffe, of the European Council on Foreign Relations think tank, said three trends were also tied to the boost.
"The globalization-driven decline of organized labor, rising identity politics harnessed more successfully by the Right than the Left, and a general tendency among Leftist forces to fragment rather than unite," he said.
"Sweating in the ghetto with colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor
Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops
But they'got too much already and besides we've got the cops".
