A decade after the UK's vote to leave the European Union, that sent shockwaves through the continent, Europeans appear more supportive of the bloc than they were during the Brexit referendum campaign.
New polling from Pew Research shows favourable views of the EU have increased across much of Europe since 2016. This is despite the rise of parties critical of Brussels in multiple European countries.
The data indicates a shift from politics in Europe that surrounded the Brexit vote, when calls for referendums to leave were not limited to the UK.
At the time, France's Marine Le Pen advocated for a vote on French membership of the bloc, while Dutch politician Geert Wilders called for a referendum on whether the Netherlands should leave the EU.
In Greece, public confidence in EU institutions was at a low following the eurozone debt crisis and bailout negotiations. In Italy, the Five Star Movement also advocated for a referendum on Italy's membership of the eurozone.
