Ipsos survey (April 6): good opinion about the EU, in general

A recent Ipsos poll for Euronews has shed light on the opinion of citizens of the European Union regarding the membership of their respective countries in the supranational organization. The results offer a diverse perspective of European sentiment.

According to the survey, Portugal leads the way with 82% of respondents considering their country's membership in the EU as something positive. Spain follows closely with 81%, evidencing a high level of support for European integration in the Iberian Peninsula.

Support declines slightly in the Nordic and Eastern European countries, although it remains largely positive. Both Denmark and Finland register 71% and 67%, respectively, of favorable opinions, while Poland and Romania also show significant figures of support, with 67% and 66%, respectively.

For its part, Germany, the EU's largest economy, shows solid support with 65% favorable perception, although it is not without its critics, with 11% of the population viewing membership as something negative.

At the bottom of the table, we find the Czech Republic, where only 43% view membership positively and 23% view it negatively. This could be interpreted as a sign of growing Euroscepticism in certain areas of Europe.

The 'Balance', calculated as the difference between positive and negative opinions, clearly shows that, despite the variability in perception between member states, the general view remains predominantly favorable towards the European Union.
