Polish Public Supports Missile Defense in Their Country
WARSAW, Poland, September 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Fifty-eight percent (58%) of adults in Poland support the deployment of a missile defense system in their country. Two in three adults (67%) believe that a missile defense site in Poland would be a contribution to strengthening NATO and 70% think their country should continue negotiations with the United States to establish a site. The vast majority of people in Poland, eighty-nine percent (89%), are aware of Russian President Putin's opposition to a missile defense system in Poland. Providing security for Poland is the top reason missile defense supporters in Poland support it, with only half as many citizens saying European security is their most important consideration. The Poll was conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation using IMAS, a local firm in Poland, to do the survey on 1001 Polish adults (471 men and 530 women). The survey's margin of error is at the 95% confidence level and plus or minus three percentage points. The Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA), a non-profit and non-governmental group, sponsored the poll.
