Summary/Abstract: From the first days of September to mid-October 1981, the 1st National Congress of Delegates of NSZZ “Solidarność” took place in Gdańsk. The assembly attracted significant public attention. A reliable source of information about the event was the official magazine “Głos Wolny”, published on the occasion of the Congress. So far, the newspaper has not been studied by historians yet, although the magazine contains information worth detailed studies. This work presents the analysis of the Nasza sonda column, one of the forms of a public opinion poll published in the newspaper. This analysis regards the subject of the survey along with its results. Additional attempts to determine the importance and the role of the column are made. The diagnostic survey, content analysis, quantitative and qualitative analyses are the methods used to study all 24 issues of the journal.
