Our survey suggests that a large majority of Europeans today are aware that she is the European Commission president, considered to be the most powerful political office in the EU.
With war in Ukraine and Gaza, and cooling relations between China and the US, the EU needs deeper defense integration, closer fiscal integration, and harnessing new technologies for prosperity.
New technologies need to be harnessed to generate prosperity for the next generation, and the 27-nation EU is committed to expanding to become a union of 30 or more member states, addressing weak democratic accountability.
Public awareness of Ursula von der Leyen's leadership during major crises like the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine has elevated her profile significantly compared to her predecessors, offering a window of opportunity for EU reform.
