According to the survey carried out by the TNS Polska Institute, three other parties would get into the Parliament, with five percent or more of the vote.
The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) is on 12 percent of the vote with the junior coalition partner Polish Peasant Party (PSL) and Janusz Palikot’s liberal ‘Your Movement’ just making the threshold of five percent.
In comparison with a similar poll carried by the same Institute a month ago, support for Law and Justice has grown by one percentage point while Civic Platform has fallen by three percentage points.
The next parliamentary elections are scheduled for early autumn 2015. Elections to the European Parliament are held in late spring 2014. (mk/pg)
