Shifting support

The center-right opposition parties, which are expected to form a government after this year's general election, have seen their lead decline in March due to a fall in support for the biggest group, the Civic Platform (PO).

The March 12 survey by pollster CBOS showed support for the PO slip three points to 22 percent from February, while backing for the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) inched up one point to 16 percent.

The poll also showed a two-point increase in support for the populist and anti-European Union Self-Defence (SO) party, which ranked third with 14 percent backing. The SO's rise in popularity sparked a sale of the złoty by investors who were nervous that a moderate pro-reform future government would be undermined.

The most recent poll by PBS found support for PO stood at 22 percent, while 14 percent backed PiS, and six percent of voters supported the SLD. (Reuters)
