CBOS: Over half of Poles support legalization of same-sex partnerships
CBOS has announced that since the previous survey in 2021, support for the legalization of same-sex partnerships has increased by 9 percentage points, while disapproval has decreased by 6 percentage points.
"Most importantly, for the first time in the history of our research, support now outweighs opposition," CBOS emphasizes.
According to PAP, support for various issues, particularly joint taxation, has increased since the previous surveys.
Supporters of legalizing same-sex partnerships are primarily found among voters of the Left, Civic Coalition, and Third Way, while opponents are mainly from Confederation and Law and Justice.
The latest survey was conducted in July 2024 with a sample of 1,076 adults in Poland.
