Poland’s ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party and its allies are backed by 42 percent of voters, double the support for the country’s largest opposition party, according to a new poll.
The figures are for voters who say they would take part in parliamentary elections.
The survey by pollster CBOS found the opposition Civic Platform (PO) party, which headed the previous government, is supported by 21 percent.
The rural-based Polish People’s Party (PSL) is third on 7 percent, the Kukiz'15 grouping on 6 percent and the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) on 5 percent, the poll found.
Other parties would not exceed the 5 percent threshold needed to make it into the Polish parliament, according to the poll.
The survey was carried out between November 8 and 15 on a sample of 1,051 adults respondents.
