The United Surveys poll found that 40.6% of respondents viewed the United States as a dependable security partner for Poland, including just 9.4% who said they were firmly convinced of that. By contrast, 54.5% said they did not trust Washington in that role, while 4.9% had no opinion.
Skepticism was strongest among voters of the centrist governing coalition. As many as 77% of them said they did not see the United States as a reliable guarantor, while 21% expressed confidence.
Among supporters of the conservative opposition, the pattern was reversed: 65% said they trusted the United States, while 35% did not.
In the broader group of other voters, 38% assessed the United States positively and 48% negatively.
The strongest backing for the alliance with Washington came from voters of the main conservative opposition party, Law and Justice (PiS). Among them, 87% viewed the United States as a reliable partner, and none chose the response “definitely not,” according to WP.
Views were more negative among supporters of the far-right Confederation and Grzegorz Braun’s Confederation of the Polish Crown. In that group, 58% said they did not regard the United States as a stable security guarantor, while 42% said they did.
