A new opinion poll indicates that the largest share of Poles consider Aleksander Kwaśniewski the best president of Poland's Third Republic, Wiadomości Onet reports. The survey was carried out by the Institute for Pollster Research on behalf of the newspaper Super Express, according to the outlet.
Karol Nawrocki also placed prominently in the ranking, Wiadomości Onet reports. The available reporting does not specify the exact percentage shares recorded by either figure or the full order of the remaining presidents included in the survey.
The Third Republic refers to the Polish state that has existed since the political transition of 1989, a period spanning multiple presidencies. Polls asking respondents to assess that era's heads of state are a recurring feature of Polish public debate, though the specific methodology and sample size behind this Pollster survey were not detailed in the reporting.
The results offer a snapshot of how respondents view the record of individual presidents rather than a measure of current political support, and the ranking covers the whole post-1989 period rather than any single term.
What to watch next: whether Pollster and Super Express publish the full breakdown of results, including the percentage shares for each president named in the survey.
