A majority of Poles favor limiting the number of immigrants from outside the European Union. Even among voters of the parties forming the current governing coalition, only 5 percent of respondents support increasing immigration, according to a survey conducted by United Surveys by IBRiS.
Poles were asked whether Poland should increase, decrease, or leave unchanged the number of non-EU immigrants it accepts.
A total of 66.3 percent of respondents supported restricting migration.
The response “definitely decrease” was chosen by 44.1 percent of those surveyed, while “rather decrease” was indicated by 22.2 percent.
Maintaining the current rules is supported by 22 percent of respondents.
An increase in immigration is supported by 5.5 percent of those surveyed, while 6.2 percent have no opinion on the matter.
Clear-Cut Position of PiS Voters
Among voters of the parties forming the current governing coalition (Civic Coalition, Polish People’s Party, Poland 2050, and the New Left), the most frequently selected response was maintaining the current migration policy – 52 percent. At the same time, 31 percent of voters in this group believe immigration should be reduced, including 19 percent who support a decisive reduction in its scale. Increasing immigration is supported by 5 percent, while 12 percent have not formed an opinion.
A far more unequivocal stance is presented by voters of Law and Justice (PiS) and the Confederation. As many as 92 percent of respondents in this group want immigration to be restricted, including 72 percent who chose the response “definitely decrease.” Seven percent support leaving the current rules unchanged.
The survey was conducted by United Surveys by IBRiS on behalf of Wirtualna Polska. The study was carried out on December 19-21, 2025, using a mixed CATI and CAWI methodology, on a sample of n = 1,000 respondents.
