A recent all-island EU sentiment poll by European Movement Ireland finds majorities in Northern Ireland and across the island expressing support for closer Irish unity framed around EU membership. According to the figures reported by outlets covering the study, 73% of people in Northern Ireland say they would vote for the UK to rejoin the EU. The poll also measures broader views on Europe’s role in the global order, including defence cooperation and relations with the United States. More than 70% of respondents—both in Northern Ireland and in the Republic of Ireland—agree that the EU should become more independent from the US. The poll’s overall results are presented as showing that public attitudes across the island align with the idea that EU integration could be a key factor in discussions about Irish unity. Sources agree the survey looks at EU satisfaction and policy preferences tied to defence and international relationships, but the reported headline outcomes emphasize support for UK re-entry to the EU and a desire for greater EU autonomy from Washington. The findings are presented as public opinion data rather than a formal referendum result.
