Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza zmian w dostępie do społecznie cenionych dóbr (zmian postrzeganych subiektywnie przez respondentów), takich jak zamożność, wpływy i poważanie, a także analiza wpływu tych zmian na decyzje o głosowaniu. Stawiamy następujące pytania badawcze: czy w ciągu czterech lat urzędowania PiS dokonało redystrybucji bogactwa, władzy i prestiżu w polskim społeczeństwie? Czy ci, do których ta oferta była przede wszystkim skierowana (czyli osoby nieuprzywilejowane w dostępie do wyżej wymienionych dóbr), uważają, że ich sytuacja w tym zakresie poprawiła się? Dane PGSW pozwalają zidentyfikować statystycznie istotną różnicę w ocenie ostatnich czterech lat (pod względem dostępu do społecznie cenionych dóbr) między elektoratem PiS a innymi grupami w polskim społeczeństwie. Stwierdzamy, że zmienna ta wywiera znaczący wpływ na głosowanie, nawet gdy wiele innych istotnych determinant zachowań wyborczych w Polsce jest kontrolowanych. Wyniki tych analiz stanowią wkład w piśmiennictwo dotyczące demokracji, zachowań wyborczych, populizmu, a przede wszystkim populistów u władzy.

This paper’s main objective is to analyse the changes in the access to socially valued goods, such as wealth, influence and prestige, as well as their impact on voting. We pose the following research questions: during the last four years has Law and Justice party (PiS) redistributed wealth, power, and prestige in Polish society? Do those to whom its offer was primarily addressed (i.e., people who are not privileged in accessing the above-mentioned goods) believe that their situation in this respect has improved? Polish National Election Study (PGSW) data identify a statistically significant difference in assessing the last four years (in terms of access to socially valued goods) between the PiS electorate and other groups. We find that this variable has a significant impact on voting, even when many other important determinants of Poland’s electoral behaviour are controlled. The results of these analyses contribute to the literature on democracy, electoral behaviour, populism, and, above all, populists in power.
