Public support for the European Union has risen significantly across much of Europe since the UK's decision to leave the bloc in 2016, according to a new report from the Pew Research Centre.

The survey, conducted in eight European countries, found that favourable views of the EU are now higher than they were at the time of the Brexit referendum.

Across the UK and seven EU member states, tracked consistently since 2016, 62% of respondents now have a positive view of the EU, compared with 49% a decade ago.
