If elections were held today, 38 percent of Poles would vote for the centre-right opposition grouping of Law and Justice (PiS) and the United Right (ZP), giving it a parliamentary majority.

Only 27 percent would vote for governing Civic Platform (PO), according to an opinion poll by TNS Polska for "Wiadomości" TVP1.

Apart from these only the grouping of rock star-turned-political sensation Paweł Kukiz would get into the Sejm, with 13 percent.

PiS were up six percent from the previous month's poll, with PO up three percent, while Kukiz was down seven percent.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of PiS, (now with 137 seats), joined his earlier rivals Jaroslaw Gowin (Poland Together, PR) and Zbigniew Ziobro (ZP) in an alliance in July 2014. Combined now the three parties would get 237 seats in parliament, PO 160 and Kukiz 63, if the TNS Polska poll is correct.

The left of centre Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), Your Movement (TR) and the Greens would get a combined three percent and no seats in the Sejm. The current coalition junior party, the Polish Peoples’ Party (PSL), would get two percent. (jh)
