Poll shows Poles’ support for Ukrainians declines but remains majority

In September 2025, United Surveys asked respondents: “How do you assess the presence of Ukrainians in Poland and their integration into society?”

According to the results, 52.7% of respondents gave a positive assessment (5.5% “definitely positive,” 47.2% “rather positive”). A total of 37% responded negatively (16% “definitely negative,” 21% “rather negative”). Another 10.3% could not give a clear answer.

Among supporters of the ruling coalition, 62% gave positive ratings versus 32% negative. Among opposition voters, the ratio was 49% to 40%.

The survey also highlighted a shift in attitudes over recent years. In September 2023, 64.4% of Poles viewed Ukrainians positively, compared to 29.5% negatively. At the beginning of 2025, those figures stood at 55.3% and 33%. Between September 2023 and September 2025, the share of positive assessments fell by 11.7 percentage points, while negative assessments rose by 7.5 points.

The United Surveys poll for Wirtualna Polska was conducted between August 28 and September 1, 2025, on a sample of 1,000 people using the CATI&CAWI method.
