European Parliament’s last Eurobarometer survey before the elections in June

The Parliament’s Spring 2024 Eurobarometer reveals strong interest among citizens in the upcoming European elections (6-9 June) and awareness of their significance in the current geopolitical context. The survey sheds light on Europeans’ voting behaviour, their attitudes towards campaign topics as well as on preferences for the priority values for the next term of the European Parliament. It focuses also on citizens’ perception of the EP and EU, on their perspective on life in the EU, as well as on their opinions about the EU within the current global context.

Health is one of the main issues on the minds of voters (32%) together with the fight against poverty and social exclusion (33%). Public health is now the most mentioned issue in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Hungary and Slovenia, while not appearing at all in spring 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic.
