PiS stands still and KO chases faster and faster: the poll
21:42
The KO (Civic Coalition) recorded a 10 percentage point increase in support compared to the last survey from the end of June, according to the latest IBRiS survey for Onet. This result was achieved at the expense of Poland 2050 by Szymon Hołownia, which lost as much as 7 percentage points during this time.
The poll also points to the waning advantage of PiS (Law and Justice): it has decreased by more than a half (from 15.6 percentage points to 7.4 percentage points), and support for the ruling party has stagnated. However, it retained first place. PiS support is almost identical to the previous poll from a month ago – 33.6 percent of the respondents declare support for the ruling party. This time KO was in second place with 26.2 percent. For Poland 2050, as few as 10.9 percent of the votes are to be cast. Left followed with 7.1 percent of votes. This is 1.2 percentage points less than in the survey from a month ago. Confederation recorded a big loss and it can count on 5.4 percent of votes (a decrease by 3.9 percentage points), and the last party that would enter the Sejm is the PSL-Polish Coalition, which is hovering on the border of the election threshold, with support at the level of 5 percent.
In the interpretation of Civic Platform deputy Krzysztof Truskolaski, the results of recent polls indicate a change in election mood.
“The latest IBRIS survey for Onet shows that Poles want changes. We are growing in strength. Thank you for your support,” the PO politician wrote in his post.
Politicians from the ruling party put the emphasis differently.
"Another poll showing high and stable support for the ruling party during the pandemic (not a common phenomenon in the EU)," noted Norbert Maliszewski, head of the Center for Strategic Analysis and undersecretary of state at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
