The reconstruction of the government was expected to be a fresh beginning for Donald Tusk's cabinet after the painful defeat of Rafał Trzaskowski in the presidential election, but – as the fresh poll for “the Republic” shows – it is not crucial for most Poles to change the composition of the Council of Ministers. investigation by an IBRiS worker indicates that in nearly 80 percent of Poles the reconstruction did not affect the perception of the government.
According to the results of a fresh survey of IBRiS studios for the “Republic” – 78% of respondents believe that the reconstruction did not affect their perception of Donald Tusk's government. The changes were crucial for 22 percent of Poles. Of this minority, 37.6% think that the reconstruction improved their opinion on government, and for 37.2% – it worsened.
This is very bad news for the Prime Minister, who hoped to "new opening" and distract voters from the defeat of Rafał Trzaskowski in the presidential election. The problem is that the passive against specified a procedure is even the elector of the Civic Coalition – the reconstruction did not make an impression on 54 percent of the KO voters. Similarly, voters of Rafał Trzaskowski are indifferent, of which 59 percent do not attach much importance to shuffling in ministries.
Sikorski will replace Tusk? Prof. Antoni Dudek: If the ratings don't improve, it won't even work.
According to prof. Antoni Dudek of the University of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, who was asked to comment by “Rzeczpospolita” – the reconstruction was “unimportant refurbishment” in about the same group. "The tea from mixing does not get any sweeter," emphasises prof. Dudek.
"Such reconstruction is not adequate to change the worsening opinion of Poles about the government. The presidential election greatly influenced social sentiments. The only change that could affect the moods of the public is the resignation of the Prime Minister," the political scientist said.
According to prof. Dudek, in order to influence the opinion of Poles, changes would should be visible and felt.
Such a change could be succession. According to the political scientist, the promotion of Radosław Sikorski to the rank of Deputy Prime Minister can announce another – to the position of head of the government. However, Prof. Dudek foresees that if the government's ratings do not improve by the fall of this year, even the replacement of the Prime Minister will not change anything.
