Current poll results show the opposition party Civic Platform with 30% support, the Law and Justice Party 25% and LiS with 10%.

Another recent poll showed that the current Prime Minister, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is considered the worst Prime Minister since 1989. Polish Prime Minister Kaczynski Is Poland's Worst Since 1989

In spite of the polls showing that the Prime Minister's party has a good chance of going down in defeat, according to the Polish Daily, Nasz Dzennik, there are plans to go forward with new elections on 30 September, 2007 unless the new political party LiS agrees to the conditions laid down by the Prime Minister for continuing the coalition.

But Andrzej Lepper reaffirmed today that he will not agree to Kaczynski's condition that Lepper give up his demand for a Parliamentary investigation of the Prime Minister's attempt to entrap him in corruption. See in Polish Lepper: Samoobrona nie odstapi od komisji sledczej ws. akcji CBA

Kaczynski seems to be ignoring the poll results that predict failure for him and that seem to be encouraging Lepper.
