Pollster CBOS said trust in the president increased by 3 percentage points compared with a similar survey a month earlier.

At the same time, 35 percent of respondents said they did not trust Duda, unchanged from the previous month, Polish state news agency PAP reported on Thursday.

President-elect Karol Nawrocki, who is set to succeed Duda as head of state next month, came in second, with 48 percent.
