The United Right can count on the support of 38 percent. voters, KO – 23, Left – 6 percent, new movements “Poland 2050” by Szymon Hołownia and “New Solidarity” – 5 percent each; Confederation – 4 percent, and PSL-Kukiz15 – 3 percent – these are the results of the August Kantar poll.
New movements by Hołownia and Trzaskowski in the poll
Kantar, in addition to the standard version of party preferences, conducted a study at the beginning of August this year, taking into account new social movements – “Poland 2050” Szymon Hołownia and “New Solidarity” Rafał Trzaskowski.
According to the poll United Right can count on the support of 38 percent voters KO – 23, Left – 6 percent, and new moves “Poland 2050” Szymon Hołownia and “New Solidarity” Rafał Trzaskowski – 5 percent each The remaining groups were below the election threshold. On Confederation 4 percent declared voting voters on Polish Coalition (PSL – Kukiz15) – 3 percent In addition, 10 percent. voters are undecided, and 6 percent. refused to answer the question about party preferences.
New “formations” without affecting the support of the right
In his comment to the study, Kantar emphasized that regardless of whether Hołownia’s and Trzaskowski’s movements would ultimately be on the election lists in the next parliamentary elections, the poll decided to check their electoral potential, as well as how their participation on the political scene would affect on the fate of the groups already present there.
Both the movement of Szymon Hołownia and Rafał Trzaskowski would have little impact on the support of right-wing parties. “New Solidarity” would bring together more left-wing voters, primarily those who vote for the Civic Coalition. “Poland 2050” would appeal to a diverse electorate – on the one hand KO and Left voters, on the other – the Polish Coalition, and even the Confederation
– evaluates Kantar.
The relatively high percentage of “don’t know / hard to say” people in the voter structure of both social movements indicates that this type of groupings would also have a chance to fill the gap on the political scene and win the votes of people who have not voted so far
– added the studio.
The poll was carried out on August 7-12, 2020 on a representative sample of 971 Polish residents aged 18 and over determined to take part in the elections using the computer-assisted direct interviews (CAPI).
