The Law and Justice candidate for president Jaroslaw Kaczynski is more popular among the female electorate while Civic Platform’s Bronislaw Komorowski can count on well-educated city dwellers, shows a new poll.  

A survey conducted by SMG/KRC shows that Jaroslaw Kaczynski can mainly count on women for his support. Sixty one percent of female electorate want to vote for the Law and Justice leader. Most Poles who support Kaczynski are between 46 and 59 years old (29 percent) and over 60 years old (25 percent). The former prime minister’s electorate consists mainly of people who graduated from a primary school (28 percent) and some university graduates (12 percent). Kaczynski is popular mainly in the countryside (41 percent) and towns (31 percent). Most of Kaczynski’s adherents support the Law and Justice party.  

An equal amount of men and women support acting president Bronislaw Komorowski. Civic Platform’s candidate’s electorate consists mainly of middle-age and older people. One third of Komorowski’s supporters are between 45 and 59 years old and one forth are over 60 years old. Most Poles who wish to vote for Komorowski are Civic Platform’s voters and are well-educated.

As many as 36 percent of the acting President’s adherents are secondary school graduates and 25 percent have higher education. Komorowski is popular among inhabitants of big cities (61 percent) and medium-size cities (50 percent). 

The Democratic Left Alliance’s candidate Grzegorz Napieralski, contrary to the party’s expectations, has not managed to woo a younger electorate. Only six percent of young people below 24 years old would cast their votes on the left-wing candidate. Meanwhile, a conservative-liberal Janusz Korwin-Mikke and an independent Andrzej Olechowski can mainly count on young people – respectively 58 percent and 36 percent of the Polish youth would vote for them.
