Shortly before the November presidential election in the US, won by Donald Trump, we asked Poles about which candidate they sympathized with. Interestingly, among Polish respondents, support for Kamala Harris, the candidate who ultimately lost, prevailed (50%). Donald Trump had half as many supporters in Poland (25%).

Preferences regarding the outcome of the American elections clearly depended on the general political orientation and worldview of the respondents. The Republican Party candidate had more supporters than the Democratic candidate among people identifying with the right, as well as among the most religious, i.e. those practicing several times a week. Voters of the ruling coalition (especially the Civic Coalition and the Left electorate) supported Kamala Harris, while supporters of opposition groups, especially those declaring their vote for the Confederation, sympathized with Donald Trump.
