The latest survey reported by Super Express, based on research from the Pollster Research Institute, positions Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski as the frontrunner in Poland’s presidential race. The study reveals that about one third of voters lean toward a candidacy from the Civic Platform party in the first round. The poll also budgets room for lesser known potential contenders, including Dorota Gawryluk and Krzysztof Stanowski, indicating a diversified field as voters consider options beyond the traditional party figures.
According to the Pollster Research Institute conducted on behalf of Super Express, Trzaskowski is favored by 32.5 percent of respondents for the first round. Szymon Hołownia follows with 25.2 percent, while Mateusz Morawiecki finishes behind with 20.9 percent. The results suggest that Morawiecki would face a challenging path to a second-round showdown given these early percentages.
In addition to the primary trio, the poll tracks a broader slate of candidates receiving smaller shares of support. Krzysztof Bosak earns 7.6 percent, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz 5.4 percent, Adrian Zandberg 2.6 percent, Dorota Gawryluk 1.8 percent, and Krzysztof Stanowski 1.1 percent. This spread shows a competitive field with several regional or issue-focused campaigns contributing to the dynamics of the race.
The CAWI method was employed for this survey, which involved 1,060 adult Poles and was conducted on February 11. The data points reflect voter preferences at a particular moment and offer insight into potential coalitions and second-round configurations, should the election proceed to that stage. The research underscores the importance of party alignment, candidate visibility, and the messaging that resonates with diverse voter segments across the country.
Earlier remarks about potential candidacies sparked discussion about strategic moves within parties and among independents. For instance, Dorota Gawryluk clarified that she does not intend to run for president. Her public stance emphasizes a commitment to contributing to Poland through other avenues of public service, rather than seeking the highest executive office. Observers note that such clarifications can influence voter perception and candidate viability as the campaign landscape evolves.
Additional coverage notes that the political conversation around December 13 highlighted shifting levels of support for Morawiecki and Trzaskowski in the broader field. Analysts point to the continued importance of a credible plan for national priorities, economic stability, and governance experience in shaping voter decisions as candidates prepare for potential debates, policy releases, and engagement with the electorate.
The evolving polling picture illustrates how early leads can be tested by debates, campaign organization, and real-time reactions to policy proposals. While polls offer a snapshot of sentiment, the final outcome will depend on a host of factors including turnout dynamics, media coverage, and the ability to translate interest into votes in each round. Polls remain a tool for understanding public opinion, not a guarantee of future results. The landscape continues to unfold as voters weigh who best can lead the country forward through its challenges and opportunities.
