In an internal poll, Jarosław Kaczyński’s party found only 35% support, far below what’s needed for a majority government, sparking anger from the party leader.
Internal PiS Poll Uncovered
The internal poll showed that Jarosław Kaczyński’s party could count on only 35% support. “That’s not enough to have an independent majority,” emphasized the magazine, noting that in the 2015 parliamentary elections, the right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS) received 37.58% support, giving them an independent majority. Four years later, they achieved 43.59%, translating to the same number of seats in the Sejm – 235.
“Kaczyński Is Enraged”
“Jarosław Kaczyński is angry,” said a close Nowogrodzka associate. “He thinks they’re just three percent points short of an independent government.” One PiS politician added that “Kaczyński is angry because a part of the party is already thinking: ‘We’ll enter into a coalition with the Confederation and hand power over.'” As a result, they don’t want to fight. All surveys show that they’re returning to power, but Kaczyński wants to do it independently,” said a Newsweek interlocutor.
31.8% Support for a Coalition Government
In the survey, 19.7% said a majority coalition government led by Civic Coalition would be best for Poland, while 13.8% believed a coalition government between PiS and Confederation would be the best. 13.3% supported a PiS majority government, and 13% backed the current coalition. 9.7% believed a majority Confederation government would be best for Poland, while 4.5% supported a coalition between CO and Confederation.
