Poll: 79% of Poles in favor of NATO membership

Polish citizens are glad about being a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a new poll by CBOS showed. As much as 79 percent of Poles approve of NATO membership, while only 4 percent do not support it. Also, for 11 percent it does not matter, and 6 percent have no opinion on the issue. However, there is less enthusiasm when it comes to the deployment of NATO troops in Poland. Some 65 percent of respondents are in favor of the idea, versus 23 percent who are against it. The poll was conducted as face-to-face interviews (1,002 Polish citizens aged over 18) along with computer aided CAPI on June 2-9.
