Ruling parties rapidly losing support due to women's protests

Only 31 percent of respondents would vote for PiS along with its coalition partners, 18 percent for the Civic Coalition, and 10 percent on the Poland 2050 movement, according to the October CBOS poll. This is another study that confirms the negative trend for the government coalition.

According to the latest CBOS poll on party preferences in the last decade of October, if there had been no pandemic and the parliamentary elections were taking place right now, 72 percent of adult Poles would have taken part in them, i.e. by 6 percentage points less than at the turn of September and October. 16 percent would not have taken part in the elections (3 percentage points more than in the last survey). 12 percent were undecided (increase by 3 percentage points).

This is another study that confirms the negative trend for the government coalition in recent days. On Wednesday (October 28), Gazeta Wyborcza published a survey on Poles' opinions on the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal and the ongoing protests following its announcement. The majority of respondents assessed the ruling negatively, and their opinions about the demonstrations themselves were divided.

More than half of the respondents (66 percent) agreed with the statement that "it was decided to throw in a difficult topic in order to distract attention from matters inconvenient for the rulers". Every fifth respondent (20 percent) said that "the United Right is simply consistently implementing another point from its program". The rest (14 percent) answered "I don't know."

In a survey of support for political parties, PiS won 26 percent of endorsement. "GW" pointed out that this is probably the result of the judgment of the Constitutional Court. Since the parliamentary elections in 2015, Jarosław Kaczyński's party has not had such a poor result (37.58 percent then). The latest Kantar survey (before the protests) gave PiS 36-39 percent.
