Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Lech Kaczyński will be top rivals at the 2010 presidential elections according to a survey carried out by the Homo Homini Institute, published in the Rzeczpospolita daily.

Neither of the officials has so far confirmed their candidacy, yet if Poles were to vote today, Donald Tusk would secure 26 percent of votes, whereas Lech Kaczyński 16 percent.

Meanwhile, former foreign minister Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz, would most likely be included in the second round of the elections, with 11 percent, followed by TV presenter Tomasz Lis with nine percent. Yet they have no intention of running for president as Cimoszewicz is a candidate for the top post at the Council of Europe and Lis is simply not interested in the position. The survey was carried out on a sample of 1,000 adults on 6 April.
