Among the different areas of Donald Tusk's government work, after two years in office, the best evaluations were for defence and state security: 43% good and very good ratings vs. 22% unsatisfactory. Poles also positively evaluated foreign policy (38% vs. 29%), crime fighting and citizens' safety (37% vs. 24%), environmental protection (35% vs. 20%), and family policy (35% vs. 24%). The worst evaluations were for agricultural policy (17% good and very good ratings vs. 38% unsatisfactory) and, as with almost all governments after 1989, healthcare (15% vs. 46%).

A comparison of opinions about the current cabinet of Donald Tusk with average evaluations of the same Prime Minister and his government from 2008-2012 shows a noticeable long-term increase in Donald Tusk's negative electorate. Currently, the percentage of negative evaluations is significantly higher than it was between 13 and 17 years ago. Double-digit increases in unsatisfactory ratings concern foreign policy, state governance, and agricultural policy (by 16-17 percentage points), as well as the economy (by 14 points) and education (by 11 points). Only in the area of healthcare are current opinions slightly better than average evaluations from a decade and a half ago.
