According to Eurobarometer Survey 61, 'Public Opinion in the EU15', released in May 2004, fewer than half of voters in the 25 European Union Member States are likely to vote in the June 2004 European Parliament elections. The first results from the polls, conducted in February and March 2004 in both the old and new Member States, show a large degree of pessimism about economic developments in the coming year. However, support for the main EU policies has generally held up since the autumn 2003 poll. Results from the new Member States show a decline in the number of people who believe EU membership will bring them and their country benefits. However, those who believe EU membership is a 'good thing' still significantly outnumber those who do not. |
