Political Alienation
In the two-month-period, the proportion of citizens declaring that they do not mind if the government is democratic or undemocratic significantly dropped and is at the lowest level since the beginning of our research on democracy. At the same time, the proportion of interviewees who care about the form of the government is the highest since 1992.
The highest level of political alienation, as well as significant acceptance for undemocratic government, was noted after parliamentary elections in 2005. On the other hand, after early elections in 2007opposite attitudes (prodemocracy) were noticed, what can also be noted currently.

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish “Opinions about Democracy”.
The data comes from the surveys “Current Problems and Events” conducted in years 1992–2016.
