Just over half of Poles (53%) are now against Ukraine joining Nato, while only a third (33.5%) support the idea, according to to a recent poll conducted by the IBRiS institute for the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita on August 29-30.

As the war drags into its fourth year, there is a growing scepticism among Poles who have become more polarised regarding Ukraine’s potential Nato membership, with only 13.8% remain undecided. This marks a notable shift from an earlier poll in August 2023, where 47.7% opposed Ukraine’s immediate Nato admission and 40% supported it.

The poll, which surveyed 1,069 respondents using the Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) method, highlights a deepening divide in Poland.
