Public Support for EU Rebounding - The Wall Street Journal By Viktoria Dendrinou



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%.
