Key findings
The survey shows that the majority of Poles strongly oppose to hosting refugees in Poland. More than a half of the respondents are against receiving refugees at all while 40% of them would agree to give them only temporary shelter until they can safely return to their country of origin. Only 4% of the respondents would let refugees settle permanently in Poland. Moreover, two thirds of the respondents are opposed to the relocation of refugees from the Middle East and Africa. Only slightly over a quarter of the respondents believe that Poland should accept some of these people.
