No new polls in Iceland since March this year

No new public opinion polls have been produced in Iceland on the EU issue since March this year (the poll was actually produced in February but published in March). According to it there was kind of a 50/50 situation here in Iceland at that point with the yes-side leading with a narrow majority. That is how things have been for the last couple of years, kind of a 50/50 situation with each side either in majority or minority by few percents. During that time we have only had two or three polls a year which is one more sign of how EU membership is so not on the agenda in Iceland.

The next poll from Gallup is expected in late August but it is possible that we'll have one before that since the Icelandic newspaper Fréttablaðið has sometimes had a poll produced during the summer.
