Based on what I've been able to research re: polling data, creationism is declining in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
There was some furor a couple years ago about creationism being on the rise in Europe, but I can't find any actual polling or trend information. Plus, creationist presence in most European countries tends to be much smaller compared to countries like the U.S. so even over there a "rise in creationism" may not necessarily indicate a particularly large shift in demographics.
What I would be most interested to see is any demographic information for creationists in Europe. I know in the U.S. and Canada creationists are predominantly the older cohort (e.g. 55+) which explains the continual downward trend in those countries. I would be interested to see if Europe is similar or not.
