The latest CBOS poll reveals that Karol Nawrocki remains the most trusted politician in Poland, though his approval ratings have failed to surpass the 50 percent threshold for two consecutive months.
The Shift in Public Trust
Distrust toward the head of state has remained stagnant at 38 percent since April. While Karol Nawrocki maintains his lead in the rankings, his approval ratings have struggled to reach the symbolic halfway mark.
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz holds second place with 45 percent trust, a 3-point decline, while distrust in the Defense Minister rose to 27 percent. Radosław Sikorski follows in third with 44 percent trust, marking a 4-point drop since April.
Mixed Results for Government and Opposition Leaders
Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski ranks fourth with 40 percent trust. Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Confederation leader Krzysztof Bosak share fifth place at 38 percent. Notably, Tusk faces a 46 percent distrust rate, reflecting a 2-point increase.
The ranking continues with Adrian Zandberg and Sławomir Mentzen at 33 percent, followed by Włodzimierz Czarzasty at 32 percent. Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska holds 31 percent, while Waldemar Żurek and Mateusz Morawiecki share 30 percent, with Morawiecki drawing a significant 51 percent distrust rating.
Lower-Tier Rankings and Methodology
Jarosław Kaczyński remains the most distrusted figure at 59 percent, despite holding 26 percent trust. The bottom of the list includes various ministers, with Joannna Sobierańska-Grenda recording 11 percent trust in her debut in the poll.
The CBOS survey was conducted between May 7 and May 17, using a representative sample of 1,041 adult Polish residents selected from the PESEL registry, utilizing a mix of CAPI, CATI, and CAWI methodologies.
