Far-right in Europe must be unhappy - Poll: Europeans have favorable opinion of Muslims and Jews
In the past year, Europe has seen deadly attacks on Jews and vilification of Muslims. Nevertheless, Jews and Muslims are generally viewed positively by publics in most of the European countries surveyed. Roma, also known as Gypsies, are seen in a less sympathetic light.
A median of 78% of Europeans have a favorable opinion of Jews. This includes majority approval in all six nations surveyed. The strongest support is in France (92%), while the weakest is in Poland (59%).
Anti-Minority Sentiment More Aimed at Roma than Muslims or JewsA median of 61% voice a favorable attitude toward Muslims. This includes at least half in four of the six countries. The most favorable view of Muslims is in France (76%).

The far-right in Europe campaigns relentlessly using fear of immigrants, particularly Muslims, and has grown in popularity. Despite these scare tactics and several terrorist attacks in Europe, people still view 'others' quite positively. Must be frustrating for the extreme conservatives.
