Polish presidential election heats up as support for Tusk-backed candidate drops

A fresh poll reveals growing dissatisfaction among Polish voters with the current left-liberal government, highlighting shifting dynamics in the upcoming presidential election.

According to the latest survey conducted by United Surveys for Wirtualna Polska, Rafał Trzaskowski (KO) leads the race with 34.1% support. However, his numbers have taken a hit, dropping 2.5 percentage points since the last poll. Meanwhile, Karol Nawrocki (PiS) has inched up slightly to 25.7%, and Sławomir Mentzen (Konfederacja) has made the most significant leap, climbing 6.5 points to reach 16.2%.

Looking ahead to the second round, the competition tightens. While Trzaskowski is still projected to win, his advantage shrinks to 52.8%. On the other hand, Nawrocki gains traction, increasing his share to 41.9%—a rise of 2.1 percentage points. These figures only reflect voters who are certain about their choice.

Beyond the election race, public opinion on Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s administration appears bleak. A survey cited by Do Rzeczy shows that 57% of respondents are dissatisfied with the government’s performance. Of those, 33% hold a decidedly negative view, while 24% lean toward disapproval. Meanwhile, 24% of respondents expressed some level of satisfaction, with only 7% giving a strong endorsement. Another 12% remained undecided about the government’s performance.

With shifting support and a prevailing sense of discontent, Poland’s political landscape remains unpredictable as the election looms closer.
