Poles and their stance on early parliamentary elections has been explored by recent research, delivering a clear directional answer about public sentiment.
A public survey conducted by SW Research for the daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita asked residents whether they favor the organization of early parliamentary elections in light of ongoing political tensions in the country.
Only 29.2% of respondents supported holding early elections, while 42.5% opposed them. A notable portion of participants expressed disagreement with the premise, signaling a preference to avoid voting ahead of the usual schedule.
No opinion
Interestingly, a substantial share—27.3%—of those surveyed reported having no opinion on this question, indicating uncertainty or the need for more information before forming a stance.
When broken down by demographic groups, roughly four in ten women and a little less than half of men (46%) rejected the idea of early elections. Among those aged over 50, nearly half (about 49%) did not see a need for such a move, and a similar proportion was observed among respondents with higher education (about 51%). More than half of individuals with monthly net income above PLN 5,000 also expressed skepticism toward early elections. Geographical patterns appeared as well: residents of larger cities—those with populations of 200,000 or more—were more likely to critique the proposal, compared with respondents in smaller urban areas with populations up to 499,000, where the share opposing early elections was slightly lower (around 49%).
These observations are drawn from the reporting on rp.pl, which covered the survey results and related commentary.
