The Data Collection

An ECFR initiative

ecfr_logo

ECFR’s regular public opinion polls provide a wealth of data aimed at addressing Europe’s critical foreign policy questions. These findings hold enduring value and offer plenty of unexplored insights, which has inspired us to establish a repository where you can explore prompts for your own analysis or find answers to your research questions.

There are two main ways in which you can explore the data available here. You can compare responses to specific questions from different countries polled, in Europe and beyond. Or you can look at national breakdowns to each question by age, gender, education, and political preference.

This initiative will expand in the coming months and years, as we upload the data from our future polls.
