Centrist-liberal presidential candidate Donald Tusk has emerged as the top choice for October presidential election, according to two surveys published today in "Rzeczpospolita" and "Gazeta Wyborcza" dailies.
The 48-year-old candidate of center right-wing Civic Platform Donald Tusk has extended his lead to 41 percent - twenty percentage points ahead of his right-wing rival, Warsaw mayor Lech Kaczynski - a poll published by the Gazeta Wyborcza daily reports.
His support was repeated in a poll by the Rzeczpospolita daily. Kaczynski trailed behind by 18 percentage points. A front-runner early in the campaign, parliamentary Speaker Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, took third spot in both polls, with 17-19 per cent backing.
The surveys also show Tusk as a definite winner in a second run-off ballot scheduled for October 25 should voter turn-out fall below 50 per cent in the October 9 first round vote.
