Some opinion polls suggest only 2-3 percentage points separate the right-wing government parties from the centrist-liberal opposition.

Polls suggest the ruling PiS will struggle to stitch together a parliamentary majority without the rightist, Ukraine-critical Confederation (Konfederacja).

With a new opinion poll showing PIS at just 5% among first-time voters, the governing party is totally outflanked by both the left and populist right among younger age cohorts.

Ahead of an October election, PiS is facing a right-wing insurgency over its diehard support of Ukraine, as party officials authorised their candidates to make critical statements about the Ukrainian government.

The Konfederacja account, followed by 671,000 internet users, was officially deleted for posting information regarding COVID-19. The Polish government has announced its intention to protest to Meta, the new name of Mark Zuckerberg’s company. In terms of audience, the party had the largest contingent of supporters on the American social network for a Polish party.
