Support for euro in Poland declines
Support for adopting the euro in Poland has fallen to 30.7%, with a significant drop among women, according to a recent survey.
The drop is likely because inflation dropped, also looking at actual percentage numbers it looks like the popularity of euros already was low and dropped only slightly (e.g. ~35% -> ~30%)
