Poles vote in tight presidential election with high stakes for E.U.
SLUBICE, Poland — Polish voters cast their ballots for president Sunday in an extremely tight race that could deliver a victory for the nationalist right or steer the country toward greater European integration.
Two exit polls Sunday evening showed a race that was too close to call, with liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski leading conservative nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki by a fraction of a percentage point, well within the polls' margins of error.
