Almost 60% of Poles say that their material situation has changed over the last year and their lives are worse – according to the IBRiS survey for “Rzeczpospolita”. Young people perceive their situation very badly – 82% say they live worse.
The survey asked respondents whether their material situation had changed over the past year.
According to Monday's "Rz", 57.5% of respondents say they have a feeling that life is worse and households are poorer. peculiar changes are not noticed by 29.8% of respondents – they say that they live as much as they did a year ago. 9.3% of respondents noted improvements in the material situation. The others were indecisive.
The paper points out that 85 percent of respondents aged 50–59 and 82 percent between 18 and 29 years of age are worse. As “Rz” points out, this contrasts clearly with people over 70 years – only 19% of them (the lowest percent in the study) say that they live worse than a year ago.
The survey shows that the population of the village (67%), but besides more than half of tiny and large cities (55%), see the deterioration in surviving conditions. As many as 93 percent of the PiS voters of 2023 and 19 percent of the KO voters of those elections are convinced that they live worse. Most KO voters feel they live the same way (57%).
‘Serious signal for the ruling coalition”
The results of this survey surely contrast with CBOS research, GUS data – those that show consumer moods, present and future. Those with which the ruling boast, and which afraid February. And who at the same time gave the ruling hope
“Rzeczpospolita” says IBRiS president Marcin Duma.
There's 1 more thing. Economists have already noticed that even good data can travel with real emotions. This survey seems to be consistent with the emotions we identify in qualitative studies.
“ Duma emphasizes. As he adds, it is simply a "serious signal for the ruling coalition".
The survey was carried out by CATI method 7-8 March 2025 on a 1067-person group of respondents.
