Nowik soars in polls after apparent breakup

Sovereign Valruzia is already touching 40%, according to our latest survey

Szymon Nowik could revalidate the Chancellorship once again according to our latest poll this month which gives Sovereign Valruzia 38% of voting intention, up 8 points from the last general election.

Nowik - whose public appearances have been drastically reduced since his likely split with his long-time partner came to light - once again sees his figure seemingly propelling the populist formation to new record shares, leaving the other seven formations that could win seats fighting for just barely 60% of the remaining vote.

The PKW, which until now had managed to stay within the 20% threshold, drops below it for the first time and would stand at 17%, maintaining its position as the second parliamentary force. On the other hand, National Renewal would suffer the same fate as Dignity and Progress did in the previous legislature and would feel the full brunt of the government's attrition, dropping to 15%. However, this drop is not received by Valruzian Alliance, which would see its voting intention fall for the first time, but is recovered by National Salvation, which rises to 10% and now becomes competitive in the right-wing field. Despite a seemingly promising start, Agrarian Voice continues losing support, mainly attributed to this legislature's Agro-So initiative developed by Szymon Nowik, which tackled many of the requests voiced by those angry farmers that previously had given their support to Agrarian Voice.

"Somehow, parting ways with his long-time partner might have made him look more "humane" at the eyes of those people initially reticent of giving their support to Nowik despite they could share the same political views"

say psychologist Marta Sznewa

"Everybody can relate to a breakup, and those of public figures made them look closer to "us"."

"Everybody loves a drama"

says 42-year old mechanic Markusz Piotr

"I think this is all a stunt so he can get sympathy votes. Valruzian Alliance is the only alternative for the future of our nation!"
