Poland’s main opposition party and the largest bloc in the current coalition government are locked in a neck-and-neck race ahead of the European Parliament elections, a new poll has shown.
On June 9, Poles will vote to elect 53 representatives to the European Parliament.
According to the poll conducted by Opinia24 on behalf of private TV broadcaster TVN, although Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition (KO) enjoys the highest support among Poles (34%), the former ruling party Law and Justice (PiS) is not too far behind either, having the support of 32% of respondents.
In third place, with 10% support, is the Confederation Liberty and Independence — a political alliance of right to far-right nationalist and libertarians known for their eurosceptic stance.
The Third Way, a coalition consisting of the Polish People’s Party (PSL), center-to-center-right Christian democratic agrarians, and Poland 2050, garnered 9% of support.
Another 8% of respondents expressed their intention to vote for The Left, another alliance consisting of various left-leaning parties.
Meanwhile, 2% of respondents plan to support the Non-Partisan Local Government-Normal Poland in a Normal Europe committee.
In addition, 1% of respondents aim to vote for the Polexit committee, while another 1% intend to support a different committee.
Finally, 3% of respondents remain undecided or have chosen not to disclose their voting intentions.

The survey was conducted on June 4-5 through telephone interviews (CATI) on a representative sample of 1,000 residents of Poland aged 18 or over. Respondents were asked whom they intend to vote for in the European Parliament elections.
In 2019, the Law and Justice party emerged victorious in the elections with 45.38% of the votes. Second place was secured by a coalition of PO, PSL, Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), Greens, and Modern, which ran as the European Coalition and obtained 38.47% of the votes.
The electoral threshold was also crossed by the Spring party led by Robert Biedroń, which garnered 6.06% of the votes. The party later on merged with SLD and is now contesting the European elections as part of The Left coalition.
