Support for NATO membership has improved significantly in 2022, or rather, outright opposition towards joining NATO has decreased. At the end of 2019, 20% were for and 56% were against membership. And now, in January, 28% were for and 42% were against. So the majority were either for, or unsure.

Another interesting sign of people warming up to joining NATO is a gallup that suggested 63% either "strongly agree" or "somewhat agree" to "accepting Finland joining NATO if it was recommended by the president and the government".
