What Britons Think About the Games
The 2012 London Olympics overall positively affected the UK, but the feel good factor might only be short lived according to a recent survey.
Around 83% felt that the Games had an overall positive effect on the UK and most of those polled felt it had increased patriotism.
But only 35% felt that Briton would feel the positive effects of the Games long term, while more than half (54%) thought it would be short-lived.
The study, conducted by GfK NOP polled 1,002 people between August 10-12, 2012 and was commissioned by the BBC.
