Politicians of the Year: 2020
According to public opinion the prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, is the person who most deserves to be called politician of the year. He was suggested by 11% of respondents, pushing President Andrzej Duda into second place with 8%. However, over half of those surveyed (54%) either claimed they didn’t know enough about it to make a choice, or felt that there wasn’t anyone who deserved the title of politician of the year.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (367) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
Respondents independently selected one of the following methods:
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 30 November and 10 December 2020 inclusive on a sample of 1010 people (42.2% using the CAPI method, 44% CATI and 13.9% CAWI).
CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
