Makowski says Kaczynski has played on his status as opposition leader by arguing that it could be dangerous for the Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska) to control both the Parliament and the Presidency.

People in Poland have very emotional attitudes to politics, and when he is saying something like that people think, 'oh,we will have something like a totalitarian regime if the president is also from Platforma,'" Makowski adds that the summer holiday season may also affect the vote, since wealthier Poles tend to support Komorowski and many will be leaving for vacation over the weekend.
