Wpływ sondaży przedwyborczych na zachowania polskich wyborców w wyborach prezydenckich oraz do Sejmu w 2015 roku
The Impact of Pre-election Polls on the Behaviour of Voters in the 2015 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyse the impact of pre-election polls on the behaviour of Polish voters in the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2015. The results of public opinion polls published during the election campaign could have influenced the behaviour of some citizens in a way that either mobilised them to take part in voting for and supporting individual committees and candidates or discouraged them from doing so. The article attempts to identify and characterise the ‘poll effects’ that may have occurred in the cases discussed, as well as assessing the impact of the polls on the final election results.
