The majority of Poles are still negative about taking in refugees, the latest survey by pollster CBOS revealed. As much as 65 percent of Polish citizens are against the idea of Poland accepting refugees from the Middle East and Africa , versus 24 percent who support it. Meanwhile, Poles feel more friendly towards their Ukrainian neighbors - 57 percent of respondents are in favor of providing them with asylum (and 36 percent who are not). For comparison, the amount of Poles opposed to taking in refugees in May amounted to 55 percent, while 39 percent supported the proposal of giving refugees temporary shelter. The poll was conducted as face-to-face interviews (1,002 Poles aged over 18) along with computer aided CAPI on June 2-9.
