The latest Eurobarometer opinion poll, from which preliminary results were published on 9 December 2003, reveals a general decline in public confidence since the previous survey carried out in Spring 2003. This is reflected in growing concerns about the economic and employment outlook for 2004 and a decrease in confidence in public institutions in general. This increased sense of pessimism appears to have affected people's attitudes towards the European Union and its institutions. Despite this, those who feel their country's membership of the EU is a good thing' still outnumber by more than three-to-one those who do not. The survey is notable for the very uneven shifts in opinion from Member State to Member State. |
