A recent poll funded and conducted by the European Commission indicates strong support for its policies among EU citizens. However, critics allege the poll is skewed and designed to “manufacture consent” for Brussels’ agenda. The article, published by RT.com, questions the objectivity of the research due to its funding source and methodology. Concerns are raised that the poll doesn't accurately reflect genuine public sentiment across the European Union. This raises transparency issues regarding how the EU gauges public opinion and presents its policy successes. The article suggests a potential effort to legitimize EU policies through biased data, fostering a narrative of broad public approval where it may not genuinely exist. Further scrutiny of the poll’s methods is warranted, according to the report.
