Do you mean like this one below? This is taken from the everyday media.
If you find it offensive it's your facking problem isn't it? Why don't
you blame the source instead? Call up Financial Times and give em a
piece of your mind Roufianoglou!

Support for Turkey's EU membership falling sharply

Public support for Turkey's bid to join the European Union continues to
crumble throughout Europe, while EU-US relations remain uneasy. The
news - the findings of a poll released today - comes just weeks ahead
of the scheduled start of membership talks on October 3.

Among citizens of nine EU countries surveyed in May and June, overall
support for Turkish membership stood at 22 per cent. The survey,
carried out for the German Marshall Fund of the US, an organisation
intended to foster transatlantic ties, found 29 per cent opposed, and
42 per cent undecided.

In France, which has promised a referendum on Turkish membership,
support for the move stands at just 11 per cent. "This issue of public
opinion is very important and can't be ignored," said an EU official.
"But Turkey is a vital strategic and economic partner."

Meanwhile, President George W. Bush's efforts to improve EU-US ties
have not been successful. In the wake of the failure to ratify the EU
constitution and as difficulties continue in Iraq, the poll shows a
European public suspicious both of member state governments' policies
on Turkey and of Washington. "The Bush administration has got to be
disappointed by these numbers," said Ron Asmus, executive director of
the GMF's Transatlantic Centre in Brussels.

Mr Bush had made three trips to Europe this year and had shown
flexibility in negotiating on issues such as Iran's nuclear programme,
yet the survey showed a 72 per cent disapproval rating of his handling
of international policies and a 59 per cent disapproval rating of US
leadership in world affairs.

Meanwhile, only 15 per cent of Germans and 22 per cent of Poles
favoured Turkish membership of the EU. The poll was carried out almost
entirely in the aftermath of the crisis sparked off by the failure of
the European constitution.

A European Commission survey carried out just a few weeks before had
shown much higher levels of support - 35 per cent in the EU as a whole,
and 21 per cent in both France and Germany. Support has declined
substantially even in Britain, Turkey's chief champion, from 45 per
cent in the Commission survey, to 32 per cent in the latest poll.

In Turkey, backing for membership has fallen from 73 per cent to 63 per
cent. "Of course citizens' opinions matter a lot and we know there is a
certain enlargement blues," said a spokeswoman for Olli Rehn, EU
enlargement Commissioner.
