The poll found 77% of respondents said the decision by the United States and Israel to attack Iran was wrong, including 51% who said it was “definitely” wrong and 26% who said “rather not.” Only 8% said the decision was right, while 15% gave no answer.
“The belief that the decision of the United States and Israel to attack Iran was wrong dominates across all analyzed demographic and social groups,” CBOS said.
The pollster added that supporters of the conservative opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) stood out as the group most likely to approve of the attack. Among respondents who said they voted for PiS in the Oct. 15, 2023 parliamentary election, 22% said striking Iran was the right decision.
Asked whether the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran threatened Poland’s security, 49% said yes, including 16% who answered “definitely yes” and 33% “rather yes.” Forty-two percent said it did not, while 9% gave no answer.
“Most respondents intending to vote in the next parliamentary election for the centrist Civic Coalition (57%), far-right Confederation of the Polish Crown (56%) and social democrats Razem (54%) perceive the conflict [...] as threatening Poland’s security,” CBOS said. It added that 58% of potential PiS voters believed it did not threaten Poland.
The survey also found overwhelming support for the Polish government’s announcement that it would not send troops to Iran. Eighty-nine percent backed the decision, including 60% who viewed it “definitely well” and 29% “rather well.” Six percent gave no answer.
