The poll, conducted by United Surveys by IBRiS, asked respondents whether Poland should initiate a Polexit.
A total of 24.7% supported the idea — with 11.6% saying “definitely yes” and 13.1% “rather yes.”
Meanwhile, 65.7% were opposed, including 48.6% who answered “definitely not” and 17.1% “rather not.” Another 9.6% were undecided.
The results revealed stark divisions along party and age lines. Among voters for the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, 47% favored leaving the EU, including 29% who were strongly in favor. By contrast, only 33% of PiS voters said they were strongly against Polexit.
Voters for the far-right Confederation party were the second-most euro-sceptic group, with 41% in favor of leaving. Just 8% of Confederation supporters were firmly opposed.
Supporters of the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), New Left, and Third Way parties overwhelmingly opposed Polexit. Among those groups, between 83% and 88% rejected the idea, with zero respondents in KO and Left electorates expressing strong support for leaving.
The survey also challenged the notion that euroscepticism is strongest among older voters. The most pro-European group were young adults aged 18 to 29, 61% of whom strongly opposed leaving the EU. Only 13% of this group supported Polexit.
By contrast, the 30 to 49 age group — identified as the most skeptical — showed 38% support for exiting the bloc, and the lowest level of strong opposition (36%). According to the report, this group is particularly sensitive to labor market pressures and cost-of-living concerns.
Wirtualna Polska noted that while the overall number of pro-Polexit supporters remains a minority, the growing strength of anti-EU sentiment among certain demographics and party electorates could reshape future debates.
