It’s been one week since the UK caught the rest of the world off-guard by voting to split from the EU. How are people feeling about it?
Results of a survey by Pollfish, charted below, show that folks in the UK are uniformly mopey about how the next 12 months may play out. Interestingly enough, millennials, part of a generation that voiced deep disappointment about the decision, are the most optimistic of the age groups. Pollfish, a mobile application-based polling platform, conducted the survey on June 27.
In Germany, meanwhile, people are more uniformly optimistic. There is a wide divergence of opinion among Spaniards, who will have to agree to disagree, even though all of them are more cheery about the future than the Brits. And in France, the youngs and the olds find themselves on completely opposite poles. C’est la vie.
