Summary
A YouGov survey conducted in March 2026 found that the economy remains the top concern in many European countries, while immigration continues to be a major issue in the UK, France, and Germany, though public concern has recently declined. In the UK, immigration and the economy were tied at 35%, while France recorded 47% concern for the economy and 27% for immigration. In Germany, the economy ranked first at 44%, followed by immigration at 26%.

Italy showed strong concern about the economy and health, while Spain’s biggest issue was housing, identified by 49% of respondents. In Denmark, health was the top concern. Across Europe, worries about energy supplies and terrorism have also increased following the February conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Overall, economic and social issues remain dominant, while immigration remains important but is no longer rising in public concern.
