The latest TNS OBOP poll shows the government's major coalition member, the Civic Platform (PO) party, would receive enough votes to give them an outright majority in the Sejm, Poland's lower house of parliament, if elections were to be held today.
Some 52 percent of respondents declared their support for PO, 31 percent said they would vote for Law and Justice (PiS), and 11 percent said they would vote for the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD).
According to the poll, the government's minor coalition partner, the Polish Peoples' Party (PSL) would not make it into a new Sejm, as only four percent of the electorate would back them. Parties must garner at least five percent of votes to enter the Sejm.
Twelve percent of the respondents said they didn't know which party they would vote for.
Parliamentary elections are due to be held in the fall of next year, although there has been some speculation that they might be moved forward due to Poland's taking over of the EU presidency, scheduled for July 1, 2011.
