The study found that 92 percent of Poles support nuclear power, while 5.4 percent oppose it, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency has reported.
Just 2.8 percent of respondents said they were strongly against nuclear energy.
Nearly 80 percent of those surveyed said they would accept the construction of a nuclear power plant near their place of residence, while 17.4 percent opposed such a development.
Deputy Energy Minister Wojciech Wrochna, who also serves as the government’s commissioner for strategic energy infrastructure, said nuclear power represents "an investment in Poland’s future" and will play an important role in supporting the country’s economy.
Support for nuclear energy was higher among men, at 96.1 percent, compared with 88 percent among women, the survey showed.
Backing was strongest among respondents aged 15 to 29 and lowest among those aged 50 to 75.
High levels of support were recorded across all regions of Poland. The strongest backing was reported in the western Lubuskie region, at 97.1 percent, followed by the south-central Świętokrzyskie region, at 96.3 percent.
The survey was carried out by pollster ASM Research Solutions Strategy between November 24 and December 8, 2025 through computer-assisted telephone interviews, state news agency PAP reported.
It included 2,000 respondents aged 15 to 75.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said last year that Poland would invest trillions of zlotys in its energy sector over the next decade.
