Almost three-quarters of Georgians (74%) would vote for EU membership and only five per cent against if a referendum were held this week, according to the 2025 annual survey of opinion in Georgia, with 80% saying membership would bring more advantages than disadvantages to the country.
This latest survey was conducted in May 2025 and involved face-to-face interviews with a representative sample of just over 1,000 people across the country. The opinion polls have been carried out annually by the EUNEIGHBOURS east Programme in Georgia and the five other countries of the Eastern Partnership since 2016.
The EU continues to be the most trusted international actor among Georgians, trusted by 67% of respondents, though the number of those who think their country has good relations with the EU is down to 63% this year.
Awareness of EU financial support to Georgia remains high at 70%, with almost half of those asked (48%) saying it was effective. Respondents felt the EU should play a greater role in education and lifelong learning (37%), economic development and trade (36%), and health (34%).
Asked which factors could make Georgians more positively disposed towards the EU, respondents pointed to greater support for Georgia’s economic development (59%), security (39%), and education, exchanges, and local infrastructure (38%).
