"Turkish Support for Joining European Union Plunges, Poll Shows
By James G. Neuger Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Turkish support for joining the European Union is plunging, with barely a quarter of the population expecting Turkey to ever become a member, a survey showed. Only 40 percent of Turks think EU membership would be a ``good thing,'' down from 54 percent last year and 73 percent in 2004, according to a poll released today by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Italian foundation Compagnia di San Paolo. European support for Turkey joining the EU stayed at 21 percent."
