a couple of reasons may cause this. If you painted with latex over oil based paints without a good primer, it will never stick.
Did you prime the cabinets?
After each coat of poly did you let it dry the recommended time?
My recommendation is to start over, get a good primer, ask at the store for the right type to match your material. Wood will take a different primer than plastic/formica etc.

Several things come to mind - Possibly not enough drying time. Or the paint types (old and new) were incompatible (then, unfortunately, you have to sand bare and start over). Or the new paint type and the poly coating are incompatible and the poly is dissolving the black (again, sanding and a new paint selection may be required).
Check the paint and poly compatibility with the paint store. If that's OK, try letting it dry for several days. Damp weather / high humidity / cold weather can really affect drying time.

First off what type paint did you use and what type poly did you use ? If you used a oil based paint it could be that it wasn't fully cured before you put the poly on and if the poly is an oil based paint it could be it wasn't stirred well enough or it might have been bad and one other thing was it ranning out side when you applied it ? sometimes high humidity can cause it not to cure Sound like you need to talk to the product manufactures and see what advice they can offer to you to fix this problem because it is a tough one to answer and to fix

I have applied poly over laytex paint and had no problem. It sounds to me like the poly has not had time to cure yet. How long ago did you apply the poly? The surface coat may be completely dry, but sub coats might take a few weeks to dry or cure completely.
Also... how did you apply the poly? Brush, roller, spray? ... and what kind of paint did you use? That would help identify the problem.

A medium-darkish warmth sandy gray would provide an excellent history for artwork which will introduce an accent colour even as bringing out the hotter tones in the granite. in case you do not already have artwork to charm to close, you ought to judge some sepia-toned images in black frames with wide off-white mats - it would make a outstanding evaluation inclusive of your black, white and grey subject matter. solid success!

Polyurethane will not adhere well when applied to anything but bare wood, and that is probably the reason it smudges.
My question is (and I ask seriously): What goal did you have in mind with this process?

Incompatible types of finishes.
If you don't want to strip it all and start over, you can just let it be for a few weeks and see if it will cure (become solid) on its own.
