Is there room for Solidarna Polska to run independently in the parliamentary elections? A recent poll from the Pollster Research Institute suggests the party led by Zbigniew Ziobro could command about 6 percent support among voters aligned with the United Right.

Among the voters backing the ruling coalition, the survey indicates that most identify with PiS, yet Solidarna Polska enjoys some backing within this bloc as well.
In the latest Pollster Research Institute survey conducted for the newspaper, United Right supporters are overwhelmingly loyal to Jarosław Kaczyński. Roughly 73 percent of respondents say they would vote for PiS if the coalition parties ran separately. About 6 percent would back Zbigniew Ziobro’s party, and 2 percent say they do not know who they would vote for. The margin of error underscored how tightly this electorate is bound to its current leadership, with only a small slice open to alternatives.
The results drew comments from Janusz Kowalski of Solidarna Polska, who emphasized the preference for a joint start. He described the coalition as a core, sovereign wing within the United Right while acknowledging that changing political dynamics could yield less predictable outcomes.
There is a clear sentiment that the right side of the political spectrum has to stay cohesive. Kowalski pointed to the practical realities of electoral thresholds and funding considerations when discussing a potential separate run. The conversation among supporters focuses on whether a standalone Solidarna Polska could secure the votes necessary to cross the electoral threshold and, more importantly, maintain a viable path in the legislature should the party pursue an independent campaign.
Experts weigh in with a pragmatic reading of the numbers, highlighting how the 6 percent share, if replicated across the broader electorate, might not meet the threshold for parliamentary entry on its own. A prominent analyst from the University of Warsaw noted that translating this support into a sustainable parliamentary entry would be challenging, given the competitive electoral environment and the need for broad-based appeal beyond a single faction of the right. The conversation extends to party funding and the long-term viability of a stand-alone trajectory for Solidarna Polska within the current political climate.
Observers stress that the political landscape in Poland often rewards alliance-building on the right, even as parties like Solidarna Polska argue for principled, sovereign positions. The central question remains whether a standalone campaign could mobilize enough voters and resources to meet legal and financial requirements, or whether the most pragmatic course is to maintain a united front within the United Right to maximize electoral strength.
Analysts and party strategists alike acknowledge that public opinion can shift as campaigns unfold, and poll results should be interpreted with caution. The ongoing dialogue within the coalition reflects a broader conversation about how best to present a coherent platform that resonates with conservative voters while addressing the concerns of urban and rural constituencies alike. In the end, the final decision will hinge on a combination of voter sentiment, organizational capacity, and the evolving political calculus as election day approaches.
