Poland Presidential Exit Polls Point to Center-Left Win
WARSAW—Exit polls showed a slim victory for the mayor of Warsaw to be Poland's next president, a result that would mark the latest rejection of the populist right in national races around the world. Drawing the highest voter turnout in a presidential election since Poles cast off Communism in 1989, Rafal Trzaskowski received 50.3% of votes. Karol Nawrocki, supported by the former ruling nationalist Law and Justice Party, received 49.7% of ballots cast. The knife-edge result was well within the poll's margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Tusk Ally Slides in Polls Before Polish Presidential Ballot
Support for Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski declined in the latest opinion surveys before Poland's presidential election on Sunday, signaling a closer race with the populist opposition and weakening stocks and the zloty. Trzaskowski, a centrist ally of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, is backed by 30% of the electorate, according to an average of four surveys published on Friday. At the start of the week, he was polling around 33%. His nearest competitor, the candidate of the Law & Justice party Karol Nawrocki, is backed by around 25%, which has changed little in the past days.
