Polls shows Kwaśniewska tipped as president, if not, then Lepper

If presidential elections were held today and the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) did not have their own candidate, Jolanta Kwaśniewska would stand a good chance of winning the elections in the first round thanks to her 53% support. According to Rzeczpospolita's survey, she is the best prepared for the position. The survey places Self-Defense leader Andrzej Lepper in second place with public support of 14%, while behind him is the leader of the Civic Platform (PO) Donald Tusk with just 9%. "Part of the popularity of President Kwaśniewski has been "transferred" to his wife who, being the First Lady, has not made any blunder so far," said sociologist Edmund Wnuk-Lipiński. "If she decided to run in the election, her support would considerably fall as she would have to take a stand on issues she has not ever discussed publicly," he added. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.Z.
