"In the largest survey ever conducted by the European Commission, 80% of around 4.6 million respondents said they favor abolishing the finicky practice of changing the clocks in summer and winter"
"While citizens from all EU member states voted in the poll, around two-thirds of responses came from Germany "
Reason being that people picked this up very quickly and for once this poll even made it into mass media before it was over. I think this only shows how much changing clocks annoys people; they hear about a poll, they go vote.
AIUI in most other countries this initial pick-up and publicity just didn't happen.
