The survey, conducted between September 10 and 20 on a sample of 1,504 people, found that 62% of respondents are in favor of granting same-sex couples the right to form civil partnerships, while 33% oppose the idea.
Poles also showed support for other rights concerning same-sex couples. Fifty percent of those surveyed believe that a same-sex partner should have the right to care for a child on equal terms with the biological parent, with 44% opposing this view. Additionally, 65% support the partner's right to care for a child after the death of the biological parent, while 29% are against it.
When it comes to same-sex marriage, 51% of respondents are in favor of allowing same-sex couples to marry, while 43% oppose it.
The results indicate a shift in public opinion in Poland, a predominantly Catholic country where LGBTQ+ rights have been a contentious issue. Poland does not currently recognize same-sex marriages or civil partnerships, and debates over LGBTQ+ rights have been prominent in recent elections.
