BRUSSELS -- Support for the European
Union is
rebounding from lows reached at the peak of the bloc's economic crisis, but a
majority of citizens still feel the EU doesn't understand their needs, according
to a survey of public opinion released Monday.
Sentiment toward the bloc improved in six of the seven
countries surveyed, led by a 13-percentage-point surge in France of people
viewing the EU favorably compared with 2013.
Even in the U.K., where the anti-EU U.K. Independence
Party is riding high in opinion polls ahead of elections for the European
Parliament in two
weeks, pro-EU sentiment jumped by nine percentage points to 52%.
