Rafał Trzaskowski has emerged as the new leader in the trust ranking of Polish politicians, surpassing President Andrzej Duda who held the top position previously. Trzaskowski’s return to the leadership position was aided by his decision to distance himself from Donald Tusk. According to Marcin Duma, the president of IBRiS, both Trzaskowski and Tusk represent different hopes for voters, with Trzaskowski seen as a future leader for the opposition and Tusk embodying the promise of past opposition victories. Duda, despite facing criticism from the opposition, still holds a strong position in the polls due to his dignified and stylish representation of the presidency. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, nonetheless, has seen a decline in confidence, although his support remains stable among loyal PiS voters. The rise in support for Tusk can be attributed partly to the “lex Tusk” campaign by PiS, which turned him into a hunted animal and evoked solidarity and compassion among the public. Additionally, Tusk’s strong result is a reflection of his campaign centered around defeating PiS and the hope that he represents for the society.
- Rafał Trzaskowski takes the place of the leader of the trust ranking, outclassing its last winner, President Andrzej Duda
- Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is third on the podium, and Donald Tusk is right behind the podium. The leader of PO has not made such a leap in the ranking of trust in politicians for a long time
- – Trzaskowski, who returned to the position of leader, which he already held, was clearly helped by the fact that he stopped showing himself ostentatiously at Tusk’s side – Marcin Duma, the president of IBRiS, tells Onet
- He emphasizes that both politicians represent different hopes of voters. – Trzaskowski is a bit of a future for the opposition voter, and Tusk is a promise of a replay of the victories that the opposition once won over PiS. Tusk is a look into the past, and Trzaskowski into the future, he points out
- — The second place of President Duda, widely criticized by the opposition, can be read as a certain transfer of the office to his person, but not only. Duda is the so-called your boy. He travels around Poland, he looks like a perfect son-in-law. And that is enough if, especially if we consume politics a bit superficially. It does the job, says Duma

– It is evident that the current authorities are clearly tired of their function. Equally strong in the survey is the fact that people are tired of this power. The need for change, both political and generational, is clearly visible – this is how he comments on the results of the survey in an interview with Onet Marcin Duma, president of the IBRiS survey agency.
– Trzaskowski’s return to the leader of the trust ranking is, in my opinion, the effect of his certain, temporary “detachment” from Donald Tusk. In a way, it was a spectacular move,” emphasizes Duma. – Trzaskowski, when he appeared together with Tusk, lost confidence in polls, and Tusk gained little. Because these are the kind of politicians who – each of them – does better if they show themselves separately – he points out. – Different emotions accompany Trzaskowski and different emotions accompany Tusk. Trzaskowski is a bit of a future for the opposition voter, and Tusk is a promise of a replay of the victories that the opposition once won over PiS, explains the president of IBRiS. – Tusk is a look into the past, and Trzaskowski into the future. There were attempts to glue these narratives together, it wasn’t a poor idea, but it didn’t work, Duma points out. – Whether these changes in the confidence poll will affect the changes in the polls of support for individual parties, we will see only in September, after the holidays. Today, nonetheless, there is certainly a desire for change.
What about the still strong poll position of President Andrzej Duda, sharply criticized by the opposition? Is his high scores mainly the result of his function? “Not only, and not entirely,” Duma says. – For many people in Poland, Andrzej Duda is a president who presents himself with dignity, is stylish, and is the subject of pride. He somehow earned this image – says the president of IBRiS. — Part of the society consumes politics in a limited way, does not delve into its meanderings, sees mainly its glory. And for such people, Duda is a president who properly represents us. In this survey of trust, the office of the head of state adds a lot to him, but not only – he emphasizes. – The president is, nonetheless, “his boy.” He goes to festivals all over Poland, he looks like a perfect son-in-law. And it does the job, says Duma.
— And Morawiecki, third in the ranking? He has now had a drop in confidence, why? we ask.
– This decline is not great, the prime minister’s polls are holding up somehow – says Duma. – This is the effect of the so-called faith. iron PiS voters, for whom this is “our prime minister, we trust him, we are moving forward”. This party drive makes Morawiecki’s posts keep a certain level. But this is not enough – emphasizes the president of IBRiS.
— The fact is, nonetheless, that power, all power, consumes. It is expensive, there are everyday problems – says. “Every head of government always gets hit for the current situation, he is the first ‘whipping boy’ if the situation gets worse,” he explains.
Duma speaks directly about Tusk’s jump up in the survey: people have a syndrome of compassion for hunted animals. – Tusk’s exceptionally positive result in the confidence poll is to a large extent the effect of the commission called lex Tusk pushed by PiS – says. – Evidently, they have turned him into a hunted animal, then compassion for this victim is automatically released in us, solidarity with him and the will to fight, to resist. We all saw it on June 4th, a few days after the president signed the first, restrictive version of this law – emphasizes the president of IBRiS. – nonetheless, this is far from all, because Tusk has earned this leap of support very well – emphasizes Duma. “It’s both a reflection of a campaign based mainly, if not entirely, on him. And also an exhibition of hope to defeat PiS. Hope, which most of the society identifies with Tusk – sums up the president of IBRiS.
