Will Donald Tusk's government hold PiS to account? What do Poles want? [SONDAŻ]


The coming to terms with the rule of Law and Justice has been arousing heated emotions in Poland for a long time. For some it is a key step towards restoring the rule of law, for others it is a political game. The latest SW Research survey for Onet shows that the topic divides public opinion almost equally.
The survey was conducted on October 21–22, 2025, in response to the question about the PiS government's accountability 41.6% answered affirmatively. respondents. Almost the same number of people – 39.6 percent — decided that holding the PiS government to account should not be a priority. Another 18.8 percent respondents did not have a clear opinion on this matter.
These results show that the topic of settlements, which recently attracted greater public support, is now losing importance. Onet cites similar studies of this type. For comparison, in April 2025, an Opinia24 survey for Radio ZET indicated that as many as 61 percent Poles supported the accountability of the previous government. Research from the end of 2024 showed similar trends – 57%. respondents in the Pollster survey for “Super Express” and 50 percent in the Opinia24 survey for TVN, it was in favor of such action.
Although Donald Tusk repeatedly emphasized during the election campaign the need to settle scandals from the PiS government, it seems that for part of society this topic is no longer a priority.
