Outgoing President Andrzej Duda enjoys the highest level of public trust in Poland, according to a June survey by the CBOS research institute. Duda is trusted by 50% of Poles—up two percentage points compared to May—while 35% say they do not trust him (a drop of three points).
Following Duda in the trust ranking are Confederation party leader Sławomir Mentzen and president-elect Karol Nawrocki, reflecting a broader rise in public confidence in right-wing politicians. By contrast, figures associated with the ruling coalition, such as Sejm Speaker Szymon Hołownia and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, have seen their standings drop.
Mentzen, who replaced Hołownia in second place, is now trusted by 47% of respondents—a significant 8-point increase since May and a 13-point rise since April. Only 33% say they do not trust him, down six points.
Newly elected President Karol Nawrocki ranks third, with 46% of Poles expressing trust in him—an 11-point gain from May. Just 36% distrust Nawrocki, a six-point decrease. He displaces Foreign Minister Sikorski from the top three.
“This first survey following the presidential election, which was won by the Law and Justice (PiS) candidate, shows a clear boost for right-wing politicians, especially those who were directly involved in the race. President-elect Karol Nawrocki saw the largest increase in public trust,” CBOS noted.
Rafał Trzaskowski, Mayor of Warsaw and KO’s presidential candidate, comes in fourth with 44% trust (up five points), while 42% express distrust (down three points).
Sejm Speaker Szymon Hołownia drops to fifth place, trusted by 41% of respondents (down two points), with 40% expressing distrust (up four points). Sixth place is held by Foreign Minister Sikorski, who maintains a steady 40% trust level, with 32% distrusting him (down one point).
Tied for seventh are Left Party candidate and Senate Deputy Speaker Magdalena Biejat, and Adrian Zandberg, leader of the Razem party. Both are trusted by 39% of respondents. Biejat saw a two-point increase in trust, while Zandberg’s support rose by nine points. Distrust toward Biejat stands at 25% (up two points) and 21% for Zandberg (down four points).
Krzysztof Bosak, Sejm Deputy Speaker and Confederation leader, is trusted by 38% of those surveyed (up two points) and distrusted by 28% (down three points).
Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz is trusted by 37% (down one point), while 30% do not trust him (up one point).
Prime Minister Donald Tusk ranks tenth in terms of trust, with 35% support (unchanged from May). However, 52% of Poles say they do not trust him—placing him second in the ranking of most distrusted politicians, with a one-point increase in negative sentiment.
The poll was conducted on a representative sample of adult residents of Poland selected from the national PESEL registry. It was carried out between June 5 and 15 with 971 respondents using a mix of methods: 63% in-person interviews (CAPI), 24% phone interviews (CATI), and 13% online surveys (CAWI).
