At the beginning of March, we checked what issues had recently sparked interest among Poles. We presented respondents with a list of over twenty topics and asked them to specify whether and how often these topics appeared in conversations within their immediate environment in the two weeks preceding the survey.

In light of the recent attack by Israel and the United States on Iran, the most common topics of conversation include the war in the Middle East, high prices, and President Donald Trump's policies, with 67%, 66%, and 61% of respondents respectively declaring frequent discussions on these issues. The conflict in the Middle East has risen by 33 percentage points compared to the survey conducted in September 2025. Additionally, the difficulties in accessing doctors and medical services also feature prominently (60%).

Almost equally often, Poles discuss the military security of our country (57%), while the war in Ukraine is mentioned less frequently, with a decrease of 9 percentage points compared to the previous measurement (46% vs. 55%).

There is also less discussion about the problem of refugees from Ukraine (33%) and migrants arriving in Poland (36%). In both cases, significant decreases were noted, respectively by 15 and 16 percentage points compared to last year's survey.

How often in the last two weeks have people in your immediate environment, e.g., family, friends, acquaintances, neighbours, talked about:

Conversations about the activities of the government and the opposition are decidedly more often negative than positive. Both the government's and the opposition's actions are more often the subject of criticism than approval (45% vs. 16% and 41% vs. 18%, respectively). Other political topics include President Karol Nawrocki's vetoes of laws prepared by the government, discussed by 43% of respondents (8 percentage points less than recorded in the previous measurement), and the accountability of the Law and Justice government, which is currently the least popular topic among Poles (28%). There is also considerably less talk about crime (30% vs. 36% in the previous measurement) and difficulties in finding or keeping a job (31%).

Significant groups of respondents mention issues related to lack of money, low wages, or pensions (47%) and personal successes and achievements (42%). The state of education and the education system in Poland was discussed by 38% of people (down from 45% in the previous measurement), and the crisis of fertility and energy issues were both at 36%.

Fewer respondents mentioned issues related to mental health and mood. Frequent discussions about future prospects and hopes were reported by 35% of them. Although slightly fewer people (32%) indicated that discussions about lack of prospects and general resignation are frequent in their immediate surroundings, this is 6 percentage points more than in the previous measurement. Additionally, 32% of respondents frequently talk about poor mental health and depression.
