Sunday’s Million Hearts March left political observers wondering how much support it might generate for KO and the left, possibly at the expense of the Third Way. A PSL deputy, Marek Sawicki, told PAP that the event could broaden the alliance’s appeal to as much as 12 percent of the vote.
Recent polling from United Surveys for Wirtualna Polska shows a snapshot of voter intentions if voting happened next Sunday. Law and Justice would secure 32.3 percent, while the Civic Coalition would attract 26.4 percent and the Third Way, a partnership between Poland 2050 and PSL, would gather 12.1 percent. Compared with the previous week, Third Way support rose by 3.1 percentage points. The fieldwork occurred on a Saturday and Sunday, before the Million Hearts March concluded and before the PiS Convention wrapped up. [citation: polling data source]
Sawicki cautioned that public opinion research centers often underestimate PSL in polling, noting a tendency to undercount the party’s support.
As the election nears, the public mood shifts, and Sawicki argued that poll accuracy tends to improve in the final stretch. He described these last two weeks as a period when survey results tend to feel more realistic and reflective of actual voter sentiment.
“I believe 12 percent is the floor, the minimum we can secure,” the MP added. “If campaigns run smoothly and mistakes are avoided, the number could rise further.”
When asked about whether Sunday’s Million Heart March, organized by the Civic Coalition with involvement from left-leaning leaders, might lift KO and the left at the Third Way’s expense, Sawicki replied: “I don’t know yet. Time will tell. It could affect the Third Way, the Confederation, or PiS, or none of them.”
He also commented on the growing recognition of the Third Way as a coalition linking PSL and Poland 2050, noting that the pace of this recognition is steady and well-placed in the current political landscape.
Among PSL members, the message has long been consistent: the PSL-Third Way list, and the Poland 2050 faction led by Hołownia, should be identified with the Third Way. Sawicki highlighted that banners and branding from both sides increasingly converge around the Third Way label, underscoring a shared strategic narrative.
The discussion continues as campaigns evolve and voters assess how party alliances align with policy priorities and national concerns. The evolving poll numbers, campaign events, and party branding together shape the trajectory as the election nears. [citation: ongoing political analysis]
The political scene remains fluid, with the implications of endorsements, public appearances, and issue-focused messaging likely to influence final results. Analysts emphasize that the two-week horizon before voting often brings sharper estimates that reflect real-world voting intentions more closely.
Observers and party officials alike are watching closely how shifts in public discourse—such as the visibility of cross-party collaborations and the framing of the Third Way as a broad center-left alliance—will translate into tangible support on Election Day. The coming days are expected to bring further data points as rallies, debates, and local campaigns intensify.
In summary, while forecasts show a measurable baseline for the Third Way, polls also suggest potential for growth if party campaigns stay cohesive and messaging remains resonant with voters seeking stability and reform. The evolving narrative around the Third Way, PSL, and Poland 2050 continues to define the political conversation as Canadians and Americans observe similar comparative dynamics in coalition-building and electoral strategy on a global scale.
