Just two days before polling day in the presidential elections and an opinion poll conducted for Polish Radio finds Bronislaw Komorowski’s lead over Jaroslaw Kaczynski has narrowed to just under six percent.

The poll taken by the Homo Homini institute finds that Komorowski is on 41.1 percent support (unchanged) with Kaczynski on 35.7 percent (plus 3).

The momentum noticed for third placed candidate Grzegorz Napieralski in the last few days seems to have stalled: the SLD candidate is on 9.1 percent, down 1.4 percent. Waldemar Pawlak (PSL) remains in fourth on 4.8 percent, down 2.1 percent.

Independent candidate Andrzej Olechowski has 2.5 percent support. The other five candidates Janusz Korwin - Mikke. Marek Jurek, Andrzej Lepper, Boguslaw Ziętek Kornel Marwick - fail to record over one percent.

Just 51.1 percents of respondents declared that they will be taking part in the first round of elections on Sunday.

If the opinion poll results translate into actual voting percentages then Komorowski (Civic Platform) and Kaczynski (Law and Justice) would go through to the second round on July 4, with no candidate receiving the necessary majority of votes cast to win outright in the first round.

Asked who they would vote for in a head-to-head between the Civic Platform and Law and Justice candidates, 54.6 percent said they would vote for Komorowski and 347.4 percent Kaczynski.

The poll was conducted on June 17 via nationwide telephone interviews of a representative sample of 1510. The poll was commissioned jointly by Polskie Radio, Polsat News and Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
