Europinions: Public Opinion Survey

EUROPINIONS focuses on the nature and composition of citizens’ EU attitudes. The comparative project investigates the causes of these attitudes, their development over time, and their effects. It focuses on the role of the media as a key antecedent of change. The present datafile encompasses the panel survey. The design of the panel survey is a multi-wave multi-country study. The study includes ten EU member states, in which at least three and at the most seven survey waves have been conducted. Countries are distributed into three subprojects, which differ in the number of survey waves and the content of each respective questionnaire. All survey waves were conducted using Computer Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI). The fieldwork was coordinated by Kantar TNS in Amsterdam and involved Kantar subsidiaries in each country. In every country, a sample was drawn from the respective databases. These databases rely on multiple recruitment strategies, including telephone, face-to-face, and online recruitment. Quotas (on age, gender, region and education) were enforced in sampling from the databases.
