Waning support
Poland's two main center-right parties, the Civic Platform (PO) and Law and Justice (PiS), may fall short of a majority in parliament after the autumn elections, according to an opinion poll published last week. Research collated by the PGB agency indicates that PO would gain 20 percent and PiS 18 percent - a fall of one percent and two percent respectively.
However, support for the League of Polish Families (LPR), a right-wing Catholic party, increased to 16 percent from the 14 percent PGB recorded during its previous survey at the beginning of May. The survey of 1,062 adults was conducted on May 27-30. The results would give PO and PiS's probable coalition 220 out of 460 parliamentary seats. The general elections are due to be held on September 25.
