Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any polls. The current parliament is composed of, with past election results:

Labour Party (DP)  Centrist: 28,4% 39 seats
Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) Social dem.: 20,7% (in coalition with NS) 20 seats
New Union - Social Liberals (NS) Social liberalism: 20,7% (in coalition with NS) 11 seats
Homeland Union - Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD) Conserv., Christian dem.: 16,1% 25 seats
Order and Justice (TT) Populism, National conserv.: 11,4% 10 seats
Liberal and Centre Union (LiCS) Conserv. liberalism: 9,2% 18 seats
Lithuanian Peasant Popular Union (LVLS) Conserv., Agrarianism: 6,6% 10 seats
Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania (AWPL)  Polish min., Conserv.: 3,8% 2 seats
Independents: 6 seats

The governing parties are the LSDP, LiCS and LVLS, with the LSDP leading the coalition. The parliament is elected for a 4 year term, with a 5% clause (combined lists 7%), and a majoritanian + proportional voting system (71/70)

Yep. The current PM, Social-Dem Gediminas Kirkilas, only came to his current position because the former LSDP leader couldn't gather the votes in parliament, and apparently there was lesser objection to him.
This administration, from what I know, has been fairly pragmatic, and they are far from radical-leftists--they do have a flat tax after all. I'd probably vote LiCS.

Ok, the results for the first 70 seats, presumably the party list seats, were as follows:

TS-LKD:  19,6% 17 seats
TPP (National Revival Party, apparently centrist): 15,1% 13 seats
TT: 12,7% 11 seats
LSDP:  11,8% 11 seats
DP: 9,0% 8 seats
LRLS (Lithuanian Republic Liberal Movement, a new Conservative-Liberal party): 5,7% 5 seats
LiCS: 5,3% 5 seats
AWPL: 4,9% 0 seats
LVLS: 3,7% 0 seats
NS: 3,6% 0 seats

The other 71 seats will be decided in an October 26 runnoff.
