EUROSTAT. They are running regular surveys. From when they stated to today, the affiliation with Europe went up. Some somewhat recent data is here: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/2971

This data seems to suggest something completely different than that people are associating as citizens of EU instead of citizens of their respective countries.

93% of respondents are correct in that you become an EU citizen automatically by living in an EU country, and 87% "feel" that they're EU citizens.

I am not saying that European citizens are saying they are saying they are European over their nationality, but that the trend towards a European identity is going up over time.
