Survey spotlight: PiS seen as most credible in keeping election promises
A survey commissioned by Wiadomości (TVP1) indicates that as many as 45 percent of Poles consider Law and Justice to be the most credible political force when it comes to fulfilling election promises. Other groups trail far behind in perceived credibility.
The findings were unveiled in the latest issue of Wiadomości, which presented the detailed results to the public.
Clear leader in credibility
The survey asked a straightforward question about who is most credible in delivering on election commitments.
Law and Justice emerged as the undisputed leader in the poll. Specifically, 45 percent of respondents pointed to Jarosław Kaczyński’s party as the top contender for credibility in following through on promises.
The opposition’s position appeared weaker in comparison. Civic Coalition received 26.8 percent of responses, Confederation 8 percent, Poland 2050 7.4 percent, the Left 7.1 percent, and PSL 5.7 percent.
Interpreting the results
The name of the party most associated with credibility generated discussion across social media platforms. The headline reading Credibility = PiS sparked commentary from analysts and political commentators alike.
One notable reaction came from Norbert Maliszewski, a professor who heads the Government Analysis Centre. He commented that the favorable result for PiS aligns with the number of promises advanced by the United Right government, while also implying that opposition leaders should focus on policy and accountability rather than relying solely on criticism of PiS’s leadership.
The discussion around the poll underscored a broader debate about political messaging, performance, and how voters weigh promises against actual delivery. As analysts point out, credibility in politics is influenced by a mix of past actions, perceived sincerity, and the consistency of political platforms over time.
Sources and cross-checks of the survey were reported by Wiadomości and referenced in subsequent political commentary across media outlets. This narrative reflects how voters interpret commitments against the backdrop of governing outcomes and public perception of trustworthiness in political actors. The conversation also highlights how polling data can shape strategic messaging for both governing coalitions and opposition groups in the months ahead.
Overall, the poll suggests that a sizable portion of the electorate associates credibility with a party based on its track record of delivering on promises, rather than rhetoric alone. The implications for parties on the far left and the far right, as well as for centrist blocs, will likely hinge on their ability to translate commitments into tangible results in the near term. The discussion continues to evolve as further surveys shed light on how voters evaluate credibility in a changing political landscape.
