More than half of Poles for UK staying in EU

As many as 54 percent of Poles support the idea of the UK staying in the European Union, while only seven percent want Britons to leave the EU, a survey of five European countries by TNS showed. The poll showed 78 percent of Germans, 67 percent of Spaniards and almost six out of 10 French wanted Britain to stay in the EU. That far outstripped the 38 percent of Britons who backed staying in the union, only slightly more than the 34 percent who want to leave, according to TNS. Some 28 percent were still undecided. Additionally, 47 percent of Germans, 48 percent of Spaniards and 44 percent of Poles predict Britain will avoid an exit. The survey, carried out by TNS between April 4-14 simultaneously in France, Germany, Spain, Poland and Britain, was published in French media on Wednesday.
