Fifty-four per cent of Danes questioned in a recent survey want their country to join the European single currency, the lowest level in almost two years, a poll revealed today.
The survey of 1,027 respondents interviewed last week and published in the financial daily Borsentoday gave the No camp 38.4 per cent.
Analysts said the clear lead for euro opponents in neighbouring Sweden ahead of their September 14th euro referendum was impacting the Danes.
The previous survey gave Danish euro supporters around 57 per cent, with about 34 per cent to the opponents.
Danes rejected euro membership by 53 to 47 per cent in a referendum in September 2000.
Denmark, Sweden and Britain remained on the sidelines when their fellow European Union (EU) members introduced euro notes and coins at the start of this year.
