How do Poles Feel about Other Nations?
For the second time in a row, the year’s league table of nations most liked by Poles is headed by the Italians, with nearly six out of ten respondents (58%) expressing positive feelings towards them and a mere 7% expressing dislike.
Russians come bottom of the list – as they have ever since the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine. An overwhelming 74% of those surveyed declare they don’t like them, with only 7% expressing the opposite.

This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (429) 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 8 – 20 January 2026 inclusive on a sample of 938 people (55.5% using the CAPI method, 26.4% CATI and 18% 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.
