Here's a map of votes for PiS from poles abroad - low in most of europe and especially in far-east, but what happened across the atlantic ?
Polish diaspora in the US is very weird, there's what you could almost call a fetishization of Polish stereotypes. Think of an anime fan but with pope, pierogi and kiełbasa. PiS emphasizes tradition in their image so they score points with these people. Results from the US are actually rather bad compared to historical ones.
I’m guessing that the US’ Polish diaspora would have a greater proportion of Poles who fled Communism and their descendants, and thus lean rightward (see also: Cubans in Miami), whereas the European Polish diaspora would be mostly economic migrants from after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
