The right-wing surge in the EU elections was driven by most of the same subjects that concern U.S. voters, a survey found.
“Improving the economy and reducing inflation” was the No. 1 issue for European voters, according to the polling platform Focaldata,Supporters of the French right-wing National Rally react at the party election night headquarters on Sunday, June 9, 2024, in Paris.
The poll surveyed 6,000 people across the EU’s five most populous countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Poland, in addition to Sweden. The first part of the pattern has recreated itself this year, with the successful showing of the Right being driven by concerns over the economy and immigration. Those matters are two that Trump consistently outperforms President Joe Biden on in the polls.
The EU election has a different structure from that of the U.S. Each country gets a designated number of seats, and each political bloc is awarded the percentage of seats it wins in each country. Right-wing parties were the clear winners in the latest election, winning about a quarter of the 720 total seats — their best showing yet. Conservative Christian Democrats still hold the largest number of seats.
