Poles split and sour on America
Source: economist.com
- Poles' views on America have sharply divided between supporters of Donald Trump and his critics.
- A recent poll shows 52% of Poles now hold an unfavourable view of the United States, up from previous levels.
- This souring risks weakening Poland's key alliance with America amid geopolitical tensions.
The article examines how Polish public opinion on America has fractured and turned more negative, largely along political lines between Trump backers and opponents. It draws on a fresh More in Common poll revealing deep splits in attitudes towards the US, Trump and NATO. This matters because Poland relies heavily on American security guarantees against Russia, and eroding support could complicate Warsaw's foreign policy.
