Transatlantic Trends is a major new multinational poll which asks detailed questions about foreign policy to 8,000 people in the US and several European countries.

On 13th September 2004, at Senate House in the University of London, speakers, organised in conjunction with the German Marshall Fund of the United States, included Timothy Garton-Ash, Clare Short MP, Phillip Bobbitt, Menzies Campbell MP, Philip Stephens from the FT and Lord Howell, Opposition Foreign Affairs Spokesman in the Lords.

Previous German Marshall Fund worldview polls have made interesting and influential reading: The poll released in 2002 showed that the US public was as keen as Europeans on the UN route prior to the war in Iraq, and is credited in Washington as one of the influences on President Bush's decision to pursue that path. This year's poll was full of equally surprising findings.
