Exit Poll: Polish Presidential Vote Headed for Runoff

An exit poll shows the conservative Polish president, Andrzej Duda, with the most votes in the presidential election on Sunday, but short of the 50% required for an outright win the first round.

If the poll is confirmed by official results, Duda will face centrist Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski in a runoff on July 12.

According to the projection by the Ipsos polling firm, Duda won 41.8% and Trzaskowski 30.4% in Sunday’s vote.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Poland’s state electoral commission has said it would release the final results by Wednesday evening at the latest.
