Kaczyński tops presidential poll rating with a five percent jump in support

The runners up would be Zbigniew Religa, a heart surgeon, who is backed by 17% (7% less than in February) and Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz from the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) with 16% of votes, a 5% increase compared to February. The fourth candidate Donald Tusk from the Civic Platform (PO) would enjoy 14% support, compared to 10% a month ago. Analysts speculate Kaczyński's leading position may be due to extensive media coverage of PiS party meeting during which he officially declared his will to run in the elections. Results of a different poll show that one in three Poles has not yet made a decision about whom to vote for. A further 12% of voters claim there is no candidate that would suit them.
