Summary View help for Summary
The aim of the Transatlantic Trends Survey is to identify the attitudes of the public in the United States and in several European countries toward foreign policy issues and transatlantic issues. A project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Compagnia di San Paolo (Italy), this survey has been conducted annually since 2003. The 2007 survey queried respondents on topics such as United States and European Union (EU) relations, leadership, security, and military operations, EU accession of Turkey, issues of concern with China, Iran, and Russia, attitudes toward certain countries, institutions, and people, economic versus military power, and the promotion of democracy in other countries. Several questions solicited views on politics and voting habits, including assessments of the current president of the United States and the upcoming presidential election, political party attachment and left-right political self-placement, voting intentions, whether respondents discussed political matters with friends, and whether they attempted to persuade others to share their views on politics. Demographic and other background information includes age, gender, race, religious affiliation, education, occupation, type of locality, region of residence, and prior travel to the United States or Europe.
