Two years after the parliamentary elections won by the centrist coalition led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a significant portion of Poles believe their standard of living has worsened. This is shown by a new survey cited by the Polish PAP agency, BTA reports.
According to the survey by the sociological agency „United Surveys“ for the online media outlet “Virtual Poland“, 45.2% of respondents said they were living worse than before the elections on October 15, 2023. In comparison, 32.6% reported no change, and only 19.6% reported an improvement in their living conditions.
The 2023 parliamentary elections resulted in the victory of a coalition of pro-European parties, which ended the eight-year rule of the conservative and eurosceptic formation “Law and Justice“.
The data also reveal clear political differences: among supporters of the ruling coalition, 40% said their lives had improved, while 53% saw no significant change. In contrast, nearly 70% of supporters of opposition parties claim that their situation has worsened.
The survey was conducted between October 10-13, 2025, among 1,000 adult citizens of Poland.
