Poll: nearly half of Poles supports PiS and other right-wing parties

As much as 47.1 percent of respondents would vote for Law and Justice (PiS), Poland Together or Solidarna Polska in the upcoming general elections, a recent opinion poll by GfK Polonia showed. Civic Platform would garner 30.3 percent of votes, an increase of 1.5 percentage points, compared with the last survey. PiS and the other right-wing political groupings reported an increase of four percentage points. Paweł Kukiz and his election list lost 4.6 percentage points and his support amounts to 10.5 percent now. Other parties would not make into the parliament. Recently, another survey indicated that nearly 80 percent of Poles who are unsatisfied with the current Polish political system are supporters of Law and Justice and Paweł Kukiz. Those who are happy with the system would give their votes to the Civic Platform (52 percent), PSL (38 percent) and NowoczesnaPL (44 percent). An article on Yahoo News, spoke of a two-tier Poland, with increasing economic polarization of society and the poorer strata leaning more and more towards the PiS camp. PiS has vowed to make the market work for the Polish society and not just the elite.
