Opinion polling on the Lech Wałęsa presidency

Lech Wałęsa in 1989 and 1996.

Lech Wałęsa was elected to the office of President of Poland in the first direct presidential election in Poland, the 1990 presidential election, serving until the inauguration of Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Wałęsa's runoff opponent in the 1995 presidential election. Throughout Wałęsa's presidency, several polling agencies conducted opinion polls gauging his approval rating as president.

Wałęsa maintained an overwhelmingly negative approval rating throughout the second half of his term, with his approval becoming positive only during a period of increased polarization before the second turn of the 1995 presidential election.
