A recent survey conducted by Opinii24 explored whom Poles would rely on for help in times of threat. The results showed a significant preference for assistance from European Union countries, with 27% of respondents believing that the EU would be the most reliable source of support. Only 15% indicated that they would mainly expect help from the United States, highlighting a notable shift in perception regarding Poland's key allies in matters of security.

Furthermore, the survey revealed a pessimistic trend, with 24% of participants expressing the belief that neither the USA nor the EU would offer practical help during a crisis. This sentiment may reflect broader concerns within Polish society about the reliability of traditional partnerships and the current geopolitical climate. Conversely, 18% of respondents maintained an optimistic outlook, believing that both the EU and the USA could provide equal assistance in times of need.

The survey outcomes also indicated political affiliations impact public perception, particularly among supporters of the ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS). A considerable 41% of this group identified the USA as Poland's most important security partner, while a gender divide emerged, with 20% of men and only 10% of women expressing confidence in American support. These results could signal shifting attitudes toward international alliances and emphasize the importance of addressing public sentiment regarding national security partnerships.
