Methodology

Savanta ComRes interviewed 5653 adults online from 9th to 19th June across twelve EU member states (1223 in Germany, 1071 in France, 891 in Italy, 680 in Spain, 560 in Poland, 279 in Romania, 250 in the Netherlands, 174 in Belgium, 155 in the Czech Republic, 155 in Portugal, 108 in Denmark and 107 in Croatia). At a country level, the data was weighted to be demographically representative by age, gender and region in each country. At a European level, the data was also weighted to be representative of the population size of the twelve countries. Savanta ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.
