Support for Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski declined in the latest opinion surveys before Poland’s presidential election on Sunday, signaling a closer race with the populist opposition and weakening stocks and the zloty.
Trzaskowski, a centrist ally of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, is backed by 30% of the electorate, according to an average of four surveys published on Friday. At the start of the week, he was polling around 33%. His nearest competitor, the candidate of the Law & Justice party Karol Nawrocki, is backed by around 25%, which has changed little in the past days.
