President is Poland’s most trusted politician: survey

Duda is trusted by 62%, followed by Prime Minister Beata Szydło on 56%, and Paweł Kukiz, head of an anti-establishment parliamentary grouping, on 50%, according to the survey by pollster CBOS.

Duda’s trust rating grew by 4 percentage points in June. Meanwhile, 27% of respondents said they did not trust the head of state.

Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz was the most distrusted politician, with 52% sceptical about him.

The survey was conducted on 1-8 June, with a representative sample of 1,020 adults in Poland taking part.

Szydło and Macierewicz are senior figures in the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which swept to power in late 2015. Duda hails from the same party.
