Opinion Survey 2019: Georgia

The EU NEIGHBOURS east project, in collaboration with ACT LLC, carries out opinion polls in the six EU’s Eastern partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) on an annual basis.

According to the 2019 survey:

• 80% of Georgians feel relations with the European Union are good.
• 71% of people in Georgia trust the EU (unchanged since 2018).
• 50% of Georgians have a positive image of the European Union (EU). Only 4% of Georgians have a negative view of the EU.
• 74% of Georgians (up 16% since 2017) are aware of the EU’s financial support to the country, and 62% consider the support to be effective.

The purpose of the annual surveys is to investigate and understand better the opinion and the level of awareness that the citizens of the EU’s Eastern partner countries have about the European Union and the EU cooperation with their country. They cover the following broad topics:

• General perceptions about the EU
• Values associated with the EU
• Assessment of EU relations with the home country
• Awareness of financial support provided by the EU and assessment of its effectiveness
• Sources of information
• Country evaluation and future expectations
