Poll boost for Dutch eurosceptics
Several opinion polls indicate that Dutch voters plan to reject the EU constitution in the 1 June referendum. An internet poll released on Monday showed that 60% of respondents opposed the constitution. The poll, conducted by the Institute for Public and Politics, asked 7,500 people how they were planning to vote. A poll published on Sunday by the Centre for Political Participation similarly found that only 42% of voters backed the treaty. Last week a foreign ministry poll showed that 52% would support the constitution, with only 30% opposing it. The negative polls followed Saturday's mail distribution of non-partisan leaflets aiming to inform the 12 million Dutch voters about the constitution. Apparently ignorance was bliss.
