A survey of over 1,000 Polish adults on Oct. 10‑11 found 33.2% favour a new presidential party under Karol Nawrocki, while 45% oppose, and political scientists say a crisis in PiS would be required for it to form.
Presidential Party in Poland?
Institute of Market and Social Research asked whether Poland should adopt a presidential party led by Karol Nawrocki. 33.2 % of respondents answered in favour; 45 % opposed. The right‑wing coalition’s supporters expressed little interest in such a party, whereas 54 % of voters for opposition parties—including PiS, Confederation, Polish Crown Confederation, and Together—would back its creation.
What a Political Scientist Says
Professor Rafał Chwedoruk of Warsaw University noted that PiS voters outside the hard‑line electorate are more open to new political projects. He added that a presidential party could only emerge if a major crisis hit PiS, a scenario that has not yet materialised. Both he and interviewees concluded that Nawrocki would not be able to gain the necessary backing.
Poles on Tusk‑Nawrocki Cooperation
On Oct. 11‑12, Pollster for “Super Express” surveyed 1,002 Polish adults about the cooperation between the President’s office and Donald Tusk’s cabinet. While 20 % judged the relationship as good, 80 % considered it bad. Professor Bartłomiej Biskup explained that Poles recognise the president and government represent different political camps, explaining the negative assessment of their collaboration.
