Changing U.S./Austrian Attitudes Toward The Bilateral Relationship Revealed In New Survey

WASHINGTON, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies has released survey results of the relationship between Austria and the United States. Highlights of the report will be presented today at the 2025 Annual Botstiber Lecture on Austrian-American Affairs at the Austrian Embassy in Washington.

The survey identified key factors behind changing perspectives of the bilateral relationship held by citizens of both countries. "This survey is a snapshot of the present and a roadmap for strengthening the mutual relationship of our two countries for the challenges that lie ahead," said Reinhard Heinisch, a board member of the Botstiber Institute. Heinisch is Professor of Austrian Politics in Comparative Perspective and chair of the Department of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Salzburg, Austria.

Information about the survey is available now at www.botstiberbiaas.org. The survey was conducted in February, March and April in Austria and the United States by Market Institute, a Linz-based research firm.
