Italians are Poland’s most favored nation, with 60% of Poles expressing a liking for them, according to a recent survey by the Centre for Public Opinion Research (CBOS).
They are followed closely by Americans (58%) and Spaniards (55%).
The annual survey, which compares public sentiment over the past year, reveals a general decline in sympathy towards foreign nations.
Notably, attitudes toward Poland’s neighboring countries have worsened. Sympathy for Slovaks has fallen by 12%, while 10% fewer Poles express favor towards Ukrainians.
Attitudes toward Lithuanians, Germans and Czechs also showed notable declines, with a decrease of 8% and 7%, respectively.
For the second consecutive year, the survey also found a decline in Poles’ attitudes toward nations that had previously gained favor due to the Ukraine conflict.
Sympathy for Ukrainians dropped by 10 percentage points, with a corresponding 8-point increase in dislike.
Attitudes towards Americans and Britons also saw declines, with favorability dropping by 7% and 5%, respectively, while dislike increased.
Additionally, the survey revealed that favorability towards Jews and Palestinians remains low. Only 26% of respondents expressed positive views toward Jews, while 32% expressed dislike and 32% were indifferent.
In contrast, 22% of Poles expressed favor towards Palestinians, with 34% disliking them and 28% remaining indifferent.
