Latest POLL deals a blow to Tusk – he’d be out of office

Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s cabinet would have to vacate their posts—at least according to the newest Opinia24 survey carried out for Radio Zet. One thing seems certain: power would pass to a Law and Justice–Confederation coalition.

Tusk’s government on the way out

Between 23 and 26 May, pollster Opinia24 asked Poles:

“If parliamentary elections were held next Sunday, which electoral committee would you vote for?”

The answers again revealed a slide in support for Tusk’s camp:

Party / CoalitionSupport
Civic Coalition (KO)32 %
Law and Justice (PiS)30 %
Confederation16 %
Third Way (Polska 2050 + PSL)6 %
New Left6 %
Razem4 %
Other party1 %
Don’t know / hard to say5 %

Seat projections

  • Law and Justice: 182 seats
  • Civic Coalition: 179 seats
  • Confederation: 84 seats
  • Left: 15 seats
  • Third Way: 0 seats (below the 8 % coalition threshold)
  • Razem: 0 seats (fell one percentage point short)

Together, the current governing partners—Civic Coalition and the Left—would command only 194 seats. By contrast, an oft-rumoured pact between PiS and Confederation would give Jarosław Kaczyński’s and Sławomir Mentzen’s groupings 266 seats, comfortably enough to form a majority government.
