...banning social media platform X from the EU if it continues to breach EU rules. Almost one in two Europeans would support banning the social media platform X from the European Union if it continues to breach EU rules, according to a new YouGov survey conducted across five major member states. The polling, carried out in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Poland, suggests growing frustration among voters around what they see as a lack of compliance by the Elon Musk-owned platform with European digital regulations. Between 60 and 78 percent of respondents in each country said the EU should take further action against X if it fails to address breaches identified by the European Commission last year. Among those in favour of more measures, a majority - ranging from 62 to 73 percent – said the platform should be banned if it refuses to comply. Overall, 47 percent of respondents supported a potential ban.

Democratic proposals for reform earn supermajority support among U.S. voters

G. Elliott Morris at Strength In Numbers:

In a letter sent on Feb. 4, 2026, Democratic congressional leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer laid out their 10 key demands for the current fight in Washington over funding for the Department of Homeland Security, and thus Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If these demands aren’t met, Jeffries and Schumer say, they will refuse to fund DHS outright. The agency could partially shut down in two weeks when funding runs out. I have spent a good amount of space here recently documenting how America has reached a tipping point on immigration and that appetite for reform — including abolishing ICE outright — has risen in the past year. And polls show there is intense anger at how Donald Trump has carried out his agenda of mass deportations over the last year; net favorability of ICE has recently fallen to an all-time low, averaging -20 across pollsters. So now that Democrats have leverage, it’s worth asking the question: What reforms do Americans actually want? The list from Democrats contains a lot of ambitious reforms, including: prohibiting ICE and other immigration agents from wearing masks or other face coverings, requiring officers to display and verbalize identification, mandating body-worn cameras with clear storage and access rules, restricting enforcement near “sensitive locations” such as schools and medical facilities, requiring judicial warrants for certain entries and arrests, and prohibiting profiling based on appearance, language, or location. The package also includes provisions to preserve state and local authority and to standardize detention conditions. The demands notably stop short of the nuclear option (abolishing ICE outright). So that’s what congressional Democrats want. But which reforms do the American people support? Can Democrats translate any public opinion data into additional leverage? This week’s Chart of the Week is: What Americans actually want done about ICE.

Recent polls reveal that many Americans back reforms of ICE, and the Abolish ICE position is approaching a majority.

YouGov survey suggests majority support idea of Britain returning to bloc – but not on same terms it once enjoyed

A decade after MPs voted to hold the referendum that led to Britain leaving the European Union, a poll has found majorities in the bloc’s four largest member states would support the UK rejoining – but not on the same terms it had before. The YouGov survey of six western European countries, including the UK, also confirms that a clear majority of British voters now back the country rejoining the bloc – but only if it can keep the opt-outs it previously enjoyed. The result, the pollster said, was a “public opinion impasse”, even if there seems precious little likelihood, for the time being, of the UK’s Labour government, which this year negotiated a “reset” with the bloc, attempting a return to the EU. YouGov’s EuroTrack survey showed that at least half of people asked across the four largest EU nations – France, Germany, Italy and Spain – supported the UK being allowed to rejoin, with percentages ranging from 51% in Italy to 63% in Germany. Asked whether Britain should be allowed back in on the same conditions it enjoyed when it left, including not having to adopt the euro currency and remaining outside the Schengen passport-free zone, the numbers changed significantly.

Exclusive: Poll before 80th anniversary of VE Day finds tensions with Russia seen as most probable cause

Eighty years after the second world war, polling shows many Americans and western Europeans believe an even more devastating third global conflict could break out within a decade, with tensions with Russia seen as the most probable cause. As Europe prepares to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the YouGov polling also showed large majorities felt that events during and before the second world war were relevant today and must continue to be taught to younger generations. Between 41% and 55% of respondents in the five European countries polled: Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, said they thought another world war was very or fairly likely within the next five to 10 years, a view shared by 45% of Americans. Majorities of 68% to 76% said they expected any new conflict would involve nuclear weapons, and between 57% and 73% also said a third world war would lead to greater loss of life than in 1939-1945. Many (25% to 44%) believed it would kill most people in the world. Most people, ranging from 66% in Italy to 89% in the UK, said they would expect their country to be involved in such a war – but only minorities, from 16% in Italy to 44% in France, thought their armed forces would be able to defend them. In contrast, 71% of Americans said they had confidence in the US military. Russia was seen as the most probable cause of another world war by between 72% and 82% of western Europeans and 69% of Americans, followed by Islamic terrorism.

Pressure growing on Labour to improve trade with EU as Rachel Reeves admits Brexit damaged UK

Keir Starmer is under growing pressure to forge closer economic links with Europe five years on from Brexit, as a major new poll shows voters clearly favour prioritising more trade with the EU over the US. The MRP survey of almost 15,000 people by YouGov for the Best for Britain thinktank shows more people in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales back closer arrangements with the EU rather than more transatlantic trade with Washington. MRP polls use large data samples to estimate opinion at a local level. Even in Nigel Farage’s seat of Clacton, more people think the UK is better off trading more with its neighbours on the continent than with the US under the Reform UK leader’s ally Donald Trump. The findings come as the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, on Sunday tells the Observer that Brexit has harmed the UK economy and that she is determined to claw back some of the lost gross domestic product (GDP) by reducing trade frictions for UK small businesses wherever possible. In one of the clearest statements by a senior government minister on Brexit, Reeves answered yes when asked if she was clear that leaving the EU had damaged the UK’s financial position. The chancellor, who discussed possible ways to improve trade with EU finance ministers and others at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, said there were “loads of external estimates” showing the negative impact of Brexit on the UK economy and added: “What I want to do is get some of that GDP back by having a better trading relationship with the European Union.” Reeves also enthused about one specific proposal, saying it was “great”, made by the EU’s new trade chief responsible for post-Brexit negotiations, Maroš Šefčovič , who floated the idea of the UK joining the Pan-Euro Mediterranean convention (PEM). The PEM is a set of common rules for sourcing parts and ingredients for use in tariff-free trade.

Reeves might have enthused about the proposal, but the message from No. 10 was 'not yet'.
