The poll puts the Civic Coalition at 31.4% support, followed by the right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) with 27.9%, and the far-right Confederation with 16.4%.
Other parties included the even more right-leaning Confederation of the Polish Crown (7.1%).
The remaining groups failed to cross the 5% threshold required to enter parliament: the left-wing Razem (4.3%) and Lewica (4.2%), the Polish People’s Party (PSL) at 3.7%, and Polska 2050 with 2.4%.
Poles abroad urged to return by PM Tusk
Commenting on the results on 15 October via the social platform X, the prime minister wrote: “Midway. Our coalition partners will tighten ranks, and we move forward.”
“Remember: pessimism is a waste of time,” Tusk added, sharing a video featuring his government’s recurring slogan, “We act, we don’t just talk.”
In the accompanying message, he also appealed to Poles living abroad to return home: “There’s no time to wait. Come back!”
How Tusk’s government came to power?
Two years ago, in the 15 October 2023 elections, Poles voted for 460 deputies and 100 senators. Although the right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) won the most seats, it failed to secure a parliamentary majority.
When Mateusz Morawiecki formed his third cabinet on 27 November, it did not win a confidence vote in the Sejm on 11 December.
The following day, parliament elected Donald Tusk, chairman of Civic Platform, as prime minister, and his government was sworn in on 13 December.
