Among Poles there is a prevailing opinion that most of the newcomers from the Middle East and Africa are not refugees but labour immigrants (39%). About one fourth (27%) have an opposite opinion – they believe that these incomers are mostly refugees looking for shelter in Europe. Almost the same number (25%) assume that among the newcomers the number of refugees is as big as the number of labour immigrants.

More on this issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: “Opinions about Refugees on the Eve of EU Summit Dedicated to Migrant Crisis”.
