It has not yet been a period since Karol Nawrocki was sworn in as president, and his first actions have aroused quite a few emotion among public opinion and political circles. Poles were asked in the poll if they thought the fresh president would work better as head of state than his predecessor, Andrzej Duda.

Karol Nawrocki took office on August 6. By that time, he had already vetoed respective laws. In a fewer days, he will go to the White home at the invitation of the president of the United States. The United Surveys laboratory conducted a survey for Virtual Poland asking Poles whether Nawrocki would be a better president than his predecessor.

According to the poll results, 48.1 percent of respondents believe that Karol Nawrocki will be a better president than Andrzej Duda. 14.3 percent of respondents replied "yes definitely", and 33.8 percent "more or little so".

The other opinion is 25.2%, due to the fact that 12.6 percent chose the answer "perhaps not", and the same indicated "decidedly not". The remaining part of the surveyed, 26.7%, could not give a clear answer or indicated the option "difficult to say".
