Bloomberg reports that French opposition to the European Union's new constitution is increasing:
A March 25-26 Ipsos poll for Le Figaro newspaper found 54 percent against the treaty. That compares with 52 percent in a March 21 study and 40 percent on March 10.
According to Bloomberg, the Ipsos poll follows one published on March 25 by the CSA Institute that showed 55 percent of those with an opinion would vote against the treaty.
The Bloomberg article states that a defeat would scuttle the constitution, which requires unanimous approval of the bloc's 25 states. Spaniards voted in favor of the constitution on February 20, by a 77 to 17 percent margin.
