Public confidence in Poland’s government has hit a new low since Prime Minister Donald Tusk assumed office, according to a recent survey. The poll revealed that half of the respondents now believe the nation is on the wrong trajectory, marking a significant shift in public sentiment.
The survey results showed that 50% of those polled think Poland is moving in the wrong direction, while only 28% feel the country is on the right path. An additional 22% of respondents were undecided. Since June, positive perceptions have dropped by three percentage points, while negative opinions have risen by two points, indicating growing dissatisfaction among the populace.
Political evaluations have also reached their lowest point during the current government’s term, with 51% describing the political climate as unfavorable—the highest level of discontent since this administration took power. Only 11% of respondents viewed the political situation positively, reflecting a deepening skepticism about the government’s performance.
Economic sentiment is similarly on the decline. Although 34% of participants still rate the economy positively, this is shadowed by 30% who see it negatively. Overall optimism has diminished compared to the previous month, and most people do not anticipate significant improvements over the next year. Concerns about both political and economic prospects appear to be on the rise.
Despite the overarching dip in confidence, a majority of respondents—63%—expressed satisfaction with their family’s standard of living, and 64% viewed their household’s financial situation favorably. However, these figures have also declined since June. The survey concluded that nearly all major indicators of public sentiment, especially regarding politics and future living standards, worsened in July.
