In a national survey conducted by CBOS, 40.1% of respondents said raising living standards should be the key task of Tusk’s administration in the second half of his term.
Key Priority Identified by Voters
CBOS carried out a CATI survey of a representative national sample of adults between 1 and 3 December. The most frequent answer to what should be the government’s top task in the coming months was improving living conditions – understood as raising incomes, curbing price rises and streamlining the health system – selected by 40.1% of respondents. Security, especially fighting Russian hybrid attacks and illegal migration, came second at 22%, followed by accountability of the Law and Justice (PiS) government at 11%.
Priority Varies By Ideological Preference
The survey examined how expectations differ across left‑leaning, centrist and right‑leaning voters. Left‑wing respondents placed living‑condition improvement at 37.9%, with security and PiS accountability tied at 19.5% each. Centrist participants cited living‑condition improvement at 38.3%, security at 27.9% and reducing the national debt deficit at 11.9%. Right‑leaning voters leaned heavily on living‑condition improvement at 42% and security at 22.6%.
