More than half of the Polish population supports the country’s membership in the European Union (EU), showcasing a degree of euro-enthusiasm, according to research by Eurobarometr. This does not mean Poles are uncritical of EU decisions.
In a 2003 referendum, 77.5% of Poles voted to join the EU. Twenty years later, enthusiasm has decreased slightly, but most Poles still view the EU positively. According to the Eurobarometer survey in autumn 2023, 56% of Poles have a positive opinion of the EU, higher than the 33% average in the EU.
Most Poles believe EU membership brings benefits, especially in economic growth and security. However, there is criticism, particularly about EU policies on migration and climate change.
