The survey by pollster Ipsos for the More in Common Polska foundation revealed that 38 percent of respondents were in favor of on-demand abortion up to the 12th week, and 19 percent up to the 24th week.
Meanwhile, 35 percent of respondents believe abortion should be available under strictly defined legal conditions, the Rzeczpospolita daily reported on Monday.
The survey reveals differing opinions among political party voters, with implications for an ongoing debate on potential changes to abortion law.
Poland’s new ruling coalition, led by liberal Prime Minister Donald Tusk, aims to reverse a 2020 Constitutional Tribunal ruling delegalizing abortion in cases of fetal impairment.
Two bills drawn up by leftist MPs on decriminalizing and liberalizing abortion are currently under consideration in parliament.
Centrist Third Way politicians have proposed a referendum on the issue.
