Increased Support for the Territorial Army
There has been a huge increase in support for the existence of the Territorial Army since February 2017, when CBOS first asked people what they thought of the then newly created defensive force. Currently over two thirds (67%) of Polish adults are in favour, with two fifths (40%) declaring strong support, making a surge in approval for the TA of 18 percentage points in total. There has been a corresponding plummet (of 16 points) in opponents of the TA, in particular of those who were strongly against its existence (12 points).
More on this subject in the CBOS report about the security of the country and issues relating to defence (O bezpieczeństwie państwa i kwestiach związanych z obronnością).
The above data comes from CBOS ‘Current Events and Problems’ surveys carried out in 2017 and 2022.
