With just over three weeks to go before the presidential elections on 20 June, many candidates are flagging in the polls, with only two candidates receiving more than 10 percent support.

Independent candidate Andrzej Olechowski, PSL’s Waldemar Pawlak and the Left’s Grzegorz Napieralski all count on marginal support in ongoing polls in the presidential race.

Pawlak and Napieralski are still fighting, comments Polska The Times, yet Olechowski has all but given up, according to the daily.

Olechowski, much like Pawlak, has denounced running presidential campaigns from atop the flood dykes, and apart from his campaign slogan “Choose your well-being”, he is invisible in the presidential race, remarks Polska The Times.

With a lack of billboards across Polish cities promoting presidential hopefuls, the Polish Peasant’s Party and the Democratic Left Alliance have turned to fighting for votes on the internet, hoping to gain support from Poland’s younger electorate.

The most recent opinion poll, for SMG/KRC found that Bronislaw Komorowski was on 46 percent support, Jaroslaw Kaczynski 29 percent and third placed Napieralski was on a modest 7 percent. (jb/pg)
