A new SW Research poll for Rzeczpospolita reveals that Jarosław Kaczyński and Karol Nawrocki are the most frequently cited figures as leaders of the Polish right, though over a third remain undecided.
The Top Contenders
According to the SW Research survey published on June 7, 19.7 percent of respondents view PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński as the head of the Polish right. President Karol Nawrocki follows closely, selected by 19 percent of those polled.
The ranking continues with Konfederacja leader Sławomir Mentzen at 7 percent, Grzegorz Braun at 5.4 percent, Krzysztof Bosak at 4.8 percent, and Przemysław Czarnek at 3.6 percent. A small fraction of 2.5 percent opted for an alternative candidate.
High Levels of Uncertainty
A significant portion of the electorate remains undecided regarding the leadership of the right-wing. Approximately 37.9 percent of participants explicitly stated they had no opinion on the matter.
The newspaper noted that these figures do not sum to 100 percent due to rounding to the first decimal place. The survey was conducted online between June 2 and 3 among 800 adults.
Comparison With Recent Polling
This follows a separate survey published on June 6 for Super Express, which showed Kaczyński leading with 38 percent. In that poll, 19 percent chose Nawrocki, while 5 percent favored Grzegorz Braun.
That study also recorded 4 percent support each for Mateusz Morawiecki and Sławomir Mentzen, with 29 percent of respondents failing to name a leader. The poll was conducted on May 28-29 on a sample of 1,057 adults.
Political Context
Jarosław Kaczyński has led the Law and Justice party since 2003. He co-founded the political group two years prior alongside his brother, the late President Lech Kaczyński.
