A CBOS opinion poll conducted from 6–17 November found that Polish government ratings improved by three percentage points versus October, with support rising to 34% and opposition falling to 41%.
CBOS Poll Shows Improved Government Ratings
The Center for Social Opinion Research (CBOS) reported that in November 2023, public support for the cabinet led by Donald Tusk increased by three percentage points to 34%, relative to October. The proportion of respondents who did not support the authorities fell by four points to 41%. A neutral stance rose by one point to 22%, while 3% remained undecided. Support was strongest among voters of the coalition (87%), whereas opposition was 82% among PiS voters, 79% among Confederation of Polish Crown voters, and 74% among Confederation of Freedom and Independence voters.
Positive Assessments of the Government and Donald Tusk Rise
Another CBOS analysis highlighted that 38% of respondents now gave a positive evaluation of the government’s work, up from 35% in October. Half of the participants judged the cabinet negatively, a decline of five points. The share of those with no opinion grew from 10% to 12%. The poll also linked the rise in government ratings to increased acceptance of Donald Tusk as prime minister.
New Marshal of Sejm Elected
Following the resignation of Szymon Hołownia mid‑term, the coalition agreed on Włodzimierz Czarzyński, a Left member, as the new Marshal of the Sejm. On 21 November, he delivered his inaugural speech, pledging to protect parliamentary rights and the democratic constitution, and asserting his duty to represent the coalition that was entrusted with power by 11 million voters.
Opinion‑Poll Methodology
The CBOS survey was carried out between 6 and 17 November on a sample of 992 respondents using computer‑assisted personal interviews (CAPI), computer‑assisted telephone interviews (CATI), and computer‑assisted web interviews (CAWI).
