Nawrocki still tops Polish trust ranking as his support slips to 46%

Nawrocki stays first, but his lead keeps shrinking

President Karol Nawrocki remains at the top of the trust ranking in the October poll by IBRiS for Onet, with 46% of respondents saying they trust him. That is 1.1 percentage points lower than in September and the latest step in a run of monthly declines, since the survey had him at 54.8% in June. Distrust toward him rose 0.3 points to 44.2%, which leaves his negative electorate larger than that of Radosław Sikorski for the first time. The survey was carried out on 23 and 24 October 2026 among 1,100 adult Poles, using standardised computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI).

Sikorski holds second place as distrust falls

Foreign minister and deputy prime minister Radosław Sikorski is second with 45% trust, 1.2 points below September. He and Nawrocki are the only two figures in the ranking with a positive trust balance, meaning more respondents trust them than do not. The share of respondents who do not trust Sikorski fell to 42.5%, a drop of 3.1 points that the report describes as the largest decline in distrust in the whole study. Rzeczpospolita gives his distrust figure as 44.2%, while the other reports of the poll give 42.5%. Defence minister and deputy prime minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz kept third place with 39.7% trust, a fall of 3.1 points, while 44.3% of respondents said they do not trust him. That is the deepest single fall in trust among the people ranked.

Tusk falls to fourth, Zandberg climbs into the top ten

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is fourth with 38.6% trust, 2.1 points lower than in September, and 53.4% of respondents say they do not trust him, a gap of 14.8 points. Adrian Zandberg, co-chair of Razem, moved into the top ten with 25.7% trust, a gain of 5.2 points according to Rzeczpospolita, and 38.3% distrust. Speaker of the Sejm Włodzimierz Czarzasty has 37% trust and 49% distrust, while former prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki is on 33.6%.

The most distrusted politicians

Grzegorz Braun, leader of the Confederation of the Polish Crown, is the most distrusted politician in the poll, with 67.5% of respondents saying they do not trust him and 59.9% saying they strongly do not. Only 21.7% trust him. Jarosław Kaczyński, chairman of PiS, follows with 65.7% distrust against 23.9% trust. Sławomir Mentzen, leader of Nowa Nadzieja, is at 57.6% distrust, and Mateusz Morawiecki at 57.3%. The figures show that distrust outweighs trust for most of the names on the list, even where a politician still leads on net support.
