General feeling or opinion (9)
I believe the answer is:
sentiment
I believe this is a double definition.
'general feeling' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'opinion' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for sentiment that I've seen before include "Mawkishness" , "Tender feeling" , "Emotional feeling" , "Slush" , "General feeling" .)
