Just days ahead of the decisive second round of Poland's presidential election, it's still all to play for candidates Rafal Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki.

The most recent opinion poll published by IBRIS on Monday put liberal-conservative, pro-European candidate Trzaskowski at 45.7% and his national-conservative, euroskeptic rival, Nawrocki, at 44.9%, with 7.8% still undecided. A different institute put both candidates at 47% on May 23.

This means that the two rival camps in this election — the center-left ruling coalition headed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk of the Civic Platform (PO) party and the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski — are now fighting tooth and nail for every undecided voter.

In the first round of the presidential election on May 18, Trzaskowski got 31.36% of the vote ahead of Nawrocki's 29.54% — a much tighter margin than anticipated.

In an attempt to win over new voters, Trzaskowski, who has been mayor of the capital, Warsaw since 2018, invited Poles to take part in the "March of Patriots" in the capital last Sunday.

The leaders of all parties in Tusk's ruling coalition gave him their backing at the huge rally.

"Rafal, win this election for us and change Poland," said Szymon Holownia, speaker of the Polish parliament and member of the Christian Democratic Poland 2050 party.

"We are choosing between a brown and a colorful Poland," said Magdalena Biejat of the New Left party and called on Poles to vote for Trzaskowski.

Both Holownia and Biejat were knocked out in the first round of the presidential election.
