Support for Law and Justice, which swept to power in late 2015, rose by 5 percentage points from a previous study by the same researcher.
Meanwhile, backing for the opposition Civic Platform (PO) party, which was voted out of power in 2015 parliamentary elections, dropped 2 percentage points to 20 percent, the survey found.
The left-wing Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), now outside parliament, and the Kukiz’15 grouping were in joint third place on 6 percent.
Other parties would not exceed the 5 percent threshold needed to make it into the Polish parliament, according to the poll.
The Kantar Public survey was carried out on June 8-17 on a sample of 1,023 respondents.
