Cimoszewicz and Kaczyński increase their leads in presidential race

Support for Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz has gone up by three percentage points to 31% following his announcement before the Orlen Investigation Committee where he refused to answer any questions and demanded the dismissal of most of the committee members. His main rival, Warsaw’s City Mayor Lech Kaczyński from the Law and Justice (PiS) can count on 20% of the voters. These two candidates are sure to make it to the second round of the ballot, as the third in line is Self-Defence's Andrzej Lepper, with 15% support, down by 2%. Right after him, with 14% is Zbigniew Religa, who has lost 1% support during the last month. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K.
