What other Nations Do Poles Like Best or Least?
This year’s league table of nations most liked by Poles is headed by the Italians, with Americans in second place and the Spanish in third. Not far behind are the Czechs, the English, Slovaks and Norwegians, with Lithuanians, the French and Hungarians completing the top ten. A clear level of liking over dislike can also be seen in relation to Estonians, about whom a significant part of those surveyed have no precise views. Poles either feel ambivalent about the remaining nations in the survey, or dislike them to a greater or lesser extent. Russians are overwhelming disliked; Belarussians and Roma are also clearly disliked, though to a much lesser extent than Russians.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (417) 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. In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 9 – 19 January 2025 inclusive on a sample of 972 people (59.8% using the CAPI method, 21.9% CATI and 18.3% 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.
