A Pew Global Attitudes Project survey conducted March 20 \u2013April 2, before the latest developments there, found that 78% of Spaniards blamed their banks and financial institutions for the country\u2019s current economic problems while 59% said the government was most at fault.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 6% in Spain consider economic conditions in the country to be very or somewhat good, down from the 65% who felt positively about the economy in 2007 \u2013 before the global financial crisis took hold. Nearly half (47%) expect the economic situation to worsen in the next 12 months, while 27% say it will remain the same; 25% believe it will improve.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 9, Spain agreed to accept a bailout for its struggling banks.The Global Attitudes survey also found that most in Spain (90%) said other European Union governments should provide financial assistance to EU countries experiencing major financial problems. That view is shared by publics in Greece (91%) and Italy (79%), both nations facing economic troubles.But such aid is less popular in countries that have been aid donors, such as Germany (49%), France (44%) and Britain (34%). <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2012\/05\/29\/chapter-1-national-conditions-and-economic-ratings\/\">Read
