About 44 percent favor joining the European Union

More than 44 percent are in favor of Iceland joining the European Union, while nearly 36 percent are opposed. This is revealed in the new Gallup National Poll. It also shows that this is a similar proportion to three years ago, when support for accession had been increasing.

A total of 36 percent oppose accession and twenty percent are neither in favor nor opposed. The Gallup poll shows that fifteen years ago 26 percent were in favor of Iceland joining the European Union, 37 percent eleven years ago and 47 percent three years ago.

Residents of the capital area are more in favor of accession than residents of the countryside, and people with a university education are also more in favor of accession than people with less education. If we look at which party people voted for in the last parliamentary elections, those who voted for Viรฐreisn are more in favor of accession than those who voted for the Samfylkinga.

Those who voted for the Progressive Party are mostly opposed, or 81 percent, while voters for the Centre Party and the Independence Party are also somewhat opposed. 74 percent of Centre Party voters are opposed and 66 percent of Independence Party voters are opposed.

Large majority in favor of Iceland's membership in NATO

The same survey also asked about Iceland's membership in NATO. According to the survey, 71 percent of the population is in favor of Iceland's membership in NATO, while about twelve percent are opposed. This is a similar proportion to what has been measured previously.

People over 50 and under 30 are generally more in favor of Iceland's membership in NATO than people between 30 and 50, who are in turn more likely than younger and older people to say they are neither in favor nor opposed. Those who would vote for the Left Greens if the Althing were elected today are the least in favor of Iceland's membership in NATO, followed by those who voted for the Pirate Party and the Socialist Party of Iceland. However, more people who vote for these parties are in favor of Iceland's membership in NATO than those who vote for these parties and are opposed.

Those who voted for the ruling parties or the Progressive Party are mostly in favor of Iceland's presence in NATO.
