Reuters reports on a recent poll showing strong German public opinon support for Juncker as Commission President. Some 60 percent of Germans are in favour of Chancellor Angela Merkel backing a bid by Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker to be the next president of the European Commission despite stiff opposition from Britain, a poll showed on Wednesday.
A Forsa poll showed that only 19 percent would like Merkel to put good relations with Britain over Juncker's candidacy.
In addition, 51 percent of Germans would regret any decision by Britain to leave the EU while 41 percent said they could come to terms with it. Cameron has promised a referendum on Britain's continued membership of the EU.
