New party poll: Civic Coalition and the Left could govern on their own”
* A new opinion poll shows that **Civic Coalition (KO)** remains the **most popular party** in Poland. * **Law and Justice (PiS)** comes second, but with noticeably lower support. * Other parties (like Confederation, Third Way, etc.) also receive smaller shares.
**Crucial takeaway**
* When the poll results are converted into **parliament seats (Sejm)**: * A coalition of **KO + the Left (Lewica)** would likely have **enough seats to form a government on their own** (i.e., majority ≥ 231 seats). * This means they **would not need additional coalition partners**.
**What that implies**
* The current ruling coalition (which includes more parties) could theoretically be simplified. * It also suggests: * **Stronger position of KO** * **Improved performance of the Left** * Weakening or fragmentation of some smaller parties
**Broader context**
* Recent polls consistently show: * KO in the lead (\~30–32%) * PiS in second (\~20–23%) * Smaller parties competing around or just above the threshold
