Among those aged 50-59, 53 percent view him positively and 28 percent negatively, and among those aged 60-69, 57 percent view him positively and 35 percent negatively. Among older people aged 70 and over, 42 percent view Nawrocki positively and 52 percent negatively.

Political scientist Prof. Antoni Dudek assessed for WP that the high support for Nawrocki in the youngest age group is understandable, stating, “A candidate from the lower classes who has achieved a stunning career may appeal to many, especially young people. They are impressed, and they are waiting for him to disrupt the system – the Civic Platform-Law and Justice party duopoly.”

When it comes to preference among the sexes, men (69 percent) definitely see Karola Nawrocki as a better choice for the new president than women (44 percent).

The survey was conducted by United Surveys by IBRiS for Wirtualna Polska using the CATI/CAWI method on September 13-15, 2025, on a sample of 1,000 people.
