As you can see, the election is not nearly as good for the ruling PiS as they'd have hoped.
Despite 2 million extra votes, and a 6% increase in popular vote, the party has only just matched its 2015 performance in the house by winning a narrow majority. The PiS has also lost its majority in the Senate, but the Polish Senate is not as strong as some other Senates, and as such, it can still govern without Senate support. Even then, Senators from the PSL and the various Other senators can could still offer it ways to get support in that chamber.
The election sends the message that while voters are willing to re-elect PiS, they will need to see some improvement, or they are quite willing to replace them with another party.
