The YouGov survey, carried out in six European countries, shows 50 per cent of voters in the UK would vote to be an EU member if there was a referendum now, compared to 45 per cent and 46 per cent in France and Italy. The numbers were higher in Germany (62 per cent) Denmark (75 per cent) and Spain (66 per cent).
It also found that in Britain, just 31 per cent of people said they would vote to be outside the EU – far fewer than the 52 per cent who backed Brexit nearly a decade ago. In France, that figure was 30 per cent, Italy 28 per cent, Germany 20 per cent, Denmark 14 per cent and Spain 13 per cent.
It says 50% for, 31% against, and the remaining 19% is presumably “undecided” or the equivalent. In the context of this article, they’re interchanging UK/Britain.
In Britain alone it’s 69%, though.

These are different questions, right?
“Should we join?” vs. “Should we leave?”
The first question is nonsensical for current EU members, and the second is nonsensical for non-members of the EU.
But I guess they include them to make a better comparison between these types of questions?
I’m not sure, but maybe it could be formatted like “Country should be part of EU? 1 = Strongly Agree, 5 = Strongly Disagree”
