Fifty three percent of respondents to a recent CBOS poll are for switching Polish currency zloty to euro and 38 percent stands firmly by the Polish national currency, according to Polish news agency PAP on Friday.

Sixty nine percent would like to see euro in circulation as soon as possible, in line with the government expectations between2012 and 2013.

The poll shows that 26 percent of euro supporters opted for a later date.

The poll was run on March 4-10, on a respondent sample of 979 adult Poles.

The Polish government has said it wanted Poland to enter pre-euro Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM-2) in the first half of 2009, and to meet convergence criteria in 2011 which would enable euro adoption on Jan. 1, 2012.
