More than 60% of over 1,200 Android Authority poll respondents said Gemini had worsened; the share was just under 65% after excluding non users. Readers cited weaker answers, misunderstandings, errors, and delays, but those reports do not establish why people feel the experience has changed.

Create a landscape editorial hero image for this Studio Global article: What does Android Authority’s informal, non-scientific poll of more than 1,200 readers reveal about perceptions that Google’s Gemini has wor. Article summary: The poll indicates substantial dissatisfaction among participating readers, not scientific proof that Gemini’s underlying capabilities have declined: more than 60% reported deterioration, rising to nearly 65% when non-us. Topic tags: general, general web, news, user generated. Style: premium digital editorial illustration, source-backed research mood, clean composition, high detail, modern web publication hero. Use reference image context only for broad subject, composition, and topical grounding; do not copy the exact image. Avoid: logos, brand marks, copyrighted characters, real person likenesses, fake screenshots, UI text, readable text, watermarks, charts w
More than 60% of the more than 1,200 people who voted in an Android Authority reader poll said Google Gemini had gotten worse in recent months. Excluding the 5.6% who said they do not use Gemini brings the negative share to just under 65%. The result is a clear warning about how participating readers feel—not scientific proof that Gemini’s capabilities have declined for everyone. 1
The poll points to a strong perception of deterioration among respondents. But a reader poll is not a representative survey of all Gemini users, and it does not compare model performance under controlled conditions. Its numbers describe the people who chose to vote, not the broader user population. 1
That distinction matters: dissatisfaction can be real and worth investigating without establishing that the underlying AI model has objectively become less capable.
Coverage of user feedback describes complaints about misunderstandings, weaker answers, errors, and delays. These reports help illustrate what some users mean when they say Gemini feels worse, but they do not show how common each problem is or prove that one change caused it. 20
Different problems can also feel similar in everyday use. A slow or failed response is a reliability issue; an answer that misses the point is a quality issue. Neither, on its own, demonstrates a general decline across Gemini products or models.
The poll is best read as a measure of reader sentiment: a majority of its respondents reported a worse experience, and the share rose to nearly two-thirds when non-users were excluded. 1 It supports taking those perceptions seriously, while leaving the broader question of whether Gemini has objectively deteriorated—and why—unanswered.
