Majorities across much of Western Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region have a favorable view of the European Union, according to a recent survey of 17 advanced economies. But perceptions of the EU’s response to the coronavirus outbreak are mixed.

A median of 63% across the 17 publics surveyed rate the EU positively. Among the eight member states surveyed, opinions are most favorable in Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands, where at least 70% have a positive view of the EU.

These three countries also have the most positive evaluation in the region of the EU’s response to the pandemic; roughly six-in-ten or more say the organization has done a good job handling the coronavirus outbreak. By comparison, a median of only 48% across all 17 publics approve of the EU’s response.
