Huge majority of Poles in favour of EU membership
By EUobserver
Some 81 percent of Poles would vote to stay in the EU in a referendum, according to pollster IBRiS for Polish daily Rzeczpospolita. Opinion was split almost evenly between those who thought the EU should tie payments of funds to respect of rule of law. But a majority of Poles (58 percent) believed that if such a mechanism were put in place, then Poland would end up being its target.
