Polish president’s popularity slightly down

According to pollster CBOS, his popularity rating is down six percentage points compared to a similar poll a month ago.

Meanwhile, 29 percent of Poles are critical of his performance, five percentage points more than in October. Nine percent of respondents have no opinion on the president.

In a comment on the outcome of the poll, CBOS said that, despite a slightly downward trend, the impact of the president’s vetoes of judicial reforms proposed by the ruling conservative party continues to be evident.

Duda vetoed two of three draft bills aimed at overhauling the judicial system in July.

The positive ratings of the lower house of parliament have fallen by five percentage points and now stand at 31 percent.

Meanwhile, 54 percent of Poles are unhappy with its work, four percentage points more than in October. The poll was conducted between November 2 and 12 on a representative group of 1,016 adult Poles, using computer-assisted personal interviews.
