We have commissioned a poll of the United States, Canada, France, the UK, Germany, Poland, the USA, Turkey, Ireland and Spain in order to understand how Europeans and Americans see each other, and how these perceptions influence levels of enthusiasm for transatlantic cooperation. The findings detailed here come from a quantitative public opinion survey conducted between 7 and 22 January 2008 by the international polling firm GlobeScan and IFF on behalf of the British Council. Sample size in most countries was at least 500, with larger samples in the USA (2,001) and UK (1,019).
The findings are divided into four themes for the website. But you can also download a pdf with all the findings.
