In this article, over a time dimension of two decades we will examine how judgements on gender equality in opinion polls are "translated" into gender relations in politics. For this purpose, we extracted some (for the subject of our research) accountable questions and analysed the respondents' changing preferences in a time perspective. We found that during the 1990s, when we had an extremely low share of women in politics, the proportion of those gender equality had very positively assessed was greatly reduced, and that at the same time the proportion of those indifferent to these values (among men and among women) increased. Men were simultaneously perceived as better political leaders. The share of the latter judgements in the next period declined steadily and by 2011 had almost halved, which may indicate positive developments also in this respect and foretell a possible shift towards the loosening of male domination in politics.
