Latest Transatlantic Trends report shows strong support for NATO

The 11th edition of the Transatlantic Trends survey has been published on 12 September 2012. Ahead of the report’s release, officials from the German Marshall Fund previewed some of the key findings to members of delegations and the International Staff at NATO HQ. The latest version of the annual public opinion survey shows continued support for NATO on both sides of the Atlantic, with a majority of Americans and Europeans believing that the Alliance is vital to the security of their countries.

Answers to other survey questions reflect continued public concern over economic and security issues and provide a valuable overview of attitudes toward various policy issues.  

For the first time, public opinion in Russia was measured on a range of topics, including transatlantic relations, security, global leadership, the economy, the Euro zone crisis and the 2012 Presidential elections in the United States, for the 2012 report.  

Transatlantic Trends is a comprehensive annual survey of American and European public opinion carried out by the German Marshall Fund of the United States. The full report is available at www.transatlantictrends.org.
