According to a recent poll, the majority of Poles do not believe U.S. President Trump would help Poland in the event of an attack, and those who believe he would are surprisingly low.
“For years after the political transformation in Poland, it seemed that our relations with the United States were becoming increasingly close. We sent our contingents when the States needed it, we buy American equipment, and thousands of soldiers from overseas are still stationed on the Vistula. However, these years of strengthening ties are not visible when you ask Poles today whether the United States would help us in the event of war,” writes Business Insider Polska.
SW Research asked Poles, at the request of rp.pl, the following question: “Do you believe that the United States under Donald Trump’s rule would come to Poland’s military aid if our country were attacked? ”
Those answering “Yes” came in at 25.7 percent, “No” at 50.8 percent, and “I have no opinion” stood at 23.4 percent.
The study was conducted by the research agency SW Research among users of the SW Panel online panel on April 8-9, 2025. The analysis covered a group of 800 Internet users over 18 years of age.
Back in 2022, BI recalls, the Institute of Public Affairs Research asked Poles for the Stan Polityki website who would help Poland in the event of an attack by a foreign country. At that time, nearly 60 percent indicated NATO, and 50.19 percent said the USA (more than one answer could be given).
The 2022 survey was conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) on a representative sample of 800 adult residents of Poland.
