The survey by pollster IBRiS showed that respondents with liberal and leftist views overwhelmingly subscribed to this opinion.
According to the survey, 10 percent of respondents said Brexit could be beneficial for Poland. Over 15 percent said Brexit would have no effect on the country, while 13 percent were undecided.
Ninety-nine percent of respondents declared they knew about Brexit.
In November, EU leaders unanimously backed a Brexit agreement with British Prime Minister Theresa May, sealing the UK’s divorce from the bloc.
According to Polish Radio’s IAR news agency, the deal includes the two most important points for Poland: guarantees of EU citizens' rights in the UK after Brexit, and a pledge by London that it will continue to contribute to the EU budget after Britain leaves the bloc.
