A national-level follow-up to an earlier exploratory study on shifts in European public opinion toward the EU since 1973. Published by the European Parliament, it comprises three PowerPoint presentations examining changes across the 28 Member States between 2007 and 2015. The first tracks national opinion trends on the European Parliament's image and role and on EU membership; the second breaks these trends down by socio-demographic factors such as gender, age and socio-professional category, comparing national results to the EU average; the third focuses on identity and EU citizenship, with particular attention to differences between age groups over the same period.A national analysis has been carried out as a follow-up to the exploratory study ‘Major changes in European public opinion with regard to the EU’, which showed how public opinion had changed in the 28 Member States since 1973. The new national analysis is made up of three Powerpoint presentations that show how public opinion in each of the Member States has changed since 2007. 1. The first presentation, ‘national public opinion trends’, analyses how the answers to key Eurobarometer questions changed in each Member State between 2007 and 2015, in particular: The image of the EP, the role of the EP and the membership of the EU. 2. The second presentation, which also focuses on individual Member States, is devoted to socio demographic trends. It shows the main differences between the EU average and the national results for the key questions referred to above and for others. It breaks trends down by gender, age and socio-professional category. 3. The third presentation deals more specifically with topics relating to ‘identity and EU citizenship’. The changes in public opinion between 2007 and 2015 are dealt with on a national basis and compared with the European average. On a socio-demographic level, a specific analysis was made of the differences between age groups.
