Thirty-two percent of survey respondents said they were critical of the government.
Compared to a similar poll carried out a month ago, the government’s rating improved by one percentage point, while the percentage of critics remained at the same level.
The survey showed PiS's economic policies were less popular, with 48 percent of those surveyed having a critical view of the government's performance. By comparison, 42 percent were happy with how the government is handling the economy.
Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydło had slightly more supporters than critics, 44 and 42 percent respectively.
On 16 November, PiS marked a year since being sworn into government.
The survey was carried out between 4 and 13 November on a representative group of 1,019 people aged over 18.
