*We did not ask this question in Europe. For comparison, we display the average results of responses to Eurobarometer’s question: "At the present time, would you say that, in general, things are going in the right direction or in the wrong direction, in your country?". We assume people are optimistic about their country if they believe "things are going in the right direction" there, and they are pessimistic if they think things are “going in the wrong direction”.
