Americans are the most popular nation among Poles for another year in a row. The Italians came second, the Czechs third and the Slovaks fourth. This year, Hungarians took eighth place on the list of nations that Poles have the greatest sympathy for, ahead of the French, Georgians, Ukrainians and Germans - according to the latest survey conducted by CBOS. However, compared to last year's survey, the Hungarians clearly regained much of the sympathy of Poles.
