In the latest PBG-DGA poll, opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) has 29 percent support among Poles, two percent less than at the beginning of July. The majority party in the governing coalition, Civic Platform (PO), remains in the lead with 43 percent support, while the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) currently enjoys the backing of 11 percent of the electorate.

According to the poll, the current junior coalition partner, the Polish Peoples’ Party (PSL), would not cross the five percent threshold for entering parliament if elections were held today. Only two percent of respondents said they would support PSL.

The poll was carried out after a week of aggressive rhetoric by PiS in which Antoni Macierewicz, the party-appointed head of the parliamentary team set up to investigate the events surrounding the April 10 Smolensk plane crash, described the accident as a “crime.”
