Should Poland join the Peace Council? We asked the subscribers of 'Rzeczpospolita'

A recent survey of subscribers to Rzeczpospolita shows a strong opposition among Polish citizens toward joining Donald Trump's Peace Council, with 86.88% against and only 11.25% in favor.

A survey distributed to all subscribers of Rzeczpospolita yielded definitive results regarding Poland's potential inclusion in the Peace Council initiated by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The poll revealed that an overwhelming 86.88% of the respondents opposed Poland's participation, while only 11.25% supported it; just 1.88% remained undecided. The survey sampled 160 subscribers, indicating a clear sentiment against joining this international body, which reflects a significant division within public opinion on this matter.

Interestingly, the survey's outcomes diverge from public sentiment across a broader demographic in Poland. A separate study commissioned by rp.pl and conducted by SW Research indicated that 24.6% of respondents supported joining Trump's Peace Council, in contrast to 42.2% who opposed it, with 19.1% undecided. Furthermore, 14.1% of those surveyed had not even heard of the institution, implying a lack of awareness about the Peace Council among the general populace, which suggests that the topic may not be sufficiently publicized or understood at a national level.

The survey results also highlighted trends based on age; it uncovered that support for joining Trump's initiative diminishes with increasing age. Among respondents aged 18-24 years, only 25% opposed joining the Council, while in the 25-34 age group, the opposition grew to 35%, and among those aged 35-49 years, it reached 45%. This generational divide could indicate that younger Poles are more open to international cooperation initiatives, whereas older demographics may harbor more reservations, thus warranting further investigation into the underlying factors influencing these opinions.
