Polish opposition parties could get combined majority

Poland’s centre-right and left-wing parties combined could win more seats in parliament than a potential coalition of the ruling nationalists Law and Justice (PiS) and the far-right Confederation party, according to a poll published..
In power since 2015, PiS look set to remain the largest party after the Oct. 15 vote, but it is unclear whether they will be able to secure a majority in an election dominated by issues like the cost of living, security and democratic standards.
This puts Confederation into the role of potential kingmakers.
Analysts say the party has tapped growing anger, particularly among the young about what they see as high taxes and the dire state of the economy.
According to the IBRiS poll for Rzeczpospolita daily carried out Sept. 8-9, PiS can count on the support of 33.2% of voters, while the largest opposition grouping, the liberal Civic Coalition (KO), would get 26%.
