Polls: CP's getting down
Bogumił Kolmasiak, translation: AG Tuesday, 12 January 2010 02:04
Recent opinion poll of SMG/KRC ran for Fakty TVN indicates, that if elections were hold on nearest Sunday, CP (pl.: PO) could count on 37% backup. 28% of Poles would vote for L&J (pl.: PiS).
DLA (pl.: SLD) has 11% backup and PPP (pl.: PSL) hardly exceeds threshold - 5% of interviewees declare supporting Pawlak.
Remaining parties would end up out of Seym. No one would support Democratic Party do Brygida Kuźniak (pl.: PD) nor SDP (pl.: SDPL), what bodes ill for their candidates in president elections.

Commentary:
Getting mixed up with 'gambling affair' and the way CP treated Wassermann and Kempa both have harmed Tusk's party. Poles assume, that CP doesn't really care for clarifying that case. L&J has high, stable backup, but not that high to become a real alternative. Confussion with 'gambling' commission, when L&J's deputies have become scapegoats, helps Kaczyński's party. Personnel changes, e.g. replacing Gosiewski with Gęsicka and creating a National Council of Development by president, have also influenced good on L&J ratings.
The Left still doesn't have any conception for itself, what locks them in constant electorate, that lets enter to parliament, but nothing else. Apparently, with Miller and Oleksy or without DLA - situation doesn't change for the Left.
Small, out-of-parliament parties are still unnoticed. Will offensive of Andrzej Olechowski, connected with DP of Paweł Piskorski (pl.: SD) and creating Poland Plus by Ludwik Dorn change anything? We will see soon.
