Public Support for the Introduction of Single-Member Constituencies in the Elections for the Sejm
Two weeks before the referendum, support for the introduction of single-member constituencies in the elections for the Lower House of the Parliament (the Sejm) dropped again. At the same time the number of opponents raised. A significant number of interviewees still have no opinion on that matter. However, the majority of those who plan to attend the referendum on the 6th September support the introduction of single-member constituencies (56% confident of taking part in the referendum and 50% of those declaring they will probably take part in it).
It is worth noticing that in comparison to June’s and July’s results an interest in taking part in the referendum on the 6th September has decreased. Two weeks before the referendum only 32% of interviewees declared that they would definitely take part in it (decrease by 9 points since July) and 20% was still not sure (decrease by 1 point). Moreover, in comparison to July, the proportion of interviewees who have not decided if they take part in the referendum increased significantly and those confident of their absence also raised.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: “Poles about Referendum Decreed by President Bronislaw Komorowski”.
The data comes from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted in June, July and August 2015.
