Kaczyński edges ahead of the field in the race to Belvedere Palace

The poll also shows that as much as four candidates stand a chance of competing with Kaczyński in the second phase of the elections. These are: Zbigniew Religa with 15% support, Władysław Cimoszewicz with 14%, Andrzej Lepper with 14% and Donald Tusk with 13% support. Cimoszewicz has unexpectedly won more popularity with left-wing voters than Marek Borowski by securing the support of 38% of the left-leaning electorate, against Borowski's 23% support.
