Majority of EU population feel good about bloc, study finds

In the UK, 60% of respondents have a favourable view, the highest on record

More people hold a favourable view of the European Union than not in every member state surveyed in a new poll, while positive opinions in Britain - which left the bloc in January - are the highest on record.

A Pew Research Center study of eight EU countries also found more than half of respondents felt confident Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Emmanuel Macron would do the right thing, but far fewer showed as much trust in Boris Johnson.
