The current "positive" number from spring 2025 is actually 52%, only 5 points down from the highest number in the past 20 years, and the second highest trust number in the same time period.

Sure, the eurozone debt crisis of the 2010s was rough for the trust mumbers, taking them down to 33% but they've fully recovered from that.

You are looking at this: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3572

it seems to be using a different measure (numbers do not match the link I posted) and I cannot see any numbers from 20 years ago.

There is graph from 2012 but that is from the low (if you look at my link).

Have a missed a pre-crisis comparable number in skimming it? If not, then what I see is still a significant decline over the last 20 years in the net positive.

IMO the Eurozone is very likely to have further crises. The architects of the Euro expected a greater degree of fiscal union but that never happened. A single currency without a large central budget is a mistake and makes it much harder to correct instability.

		I'm looking at the "standard barometer 103 - Spring 2025"[1] which lines up with the first graph in the "standard barometer 101" you linked. > A single currency without a large central budget is a mistake and makes it much harder to correct instability. That's an opinion. You're free to have that opinion, but trust/distrust of the European Union has little to do with that opinion. [1]: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3372
