The following will join the fight: the mayor of the capital, Rafał Trzaskowski, and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski.
During Saturday’s press conference, Trzaskowski noted that the most important thing is that the candidates emerge from these primaries “strengthened and with a strong mandate.” In his opinion, both he and Radosław Sikorski are “widely known to the Polish public opinion.”
How do Poles rate both candidates at the moment? The SW Research survey for “Rzeczpospolita” published on Saturday shows that when we take into account security-related competencies, the chances are quite even, and the space for development related to the undecided is large.
The survey question was: “Which of KO’s potential candidates for president would, in your opinion, handle security issues better?“. Rafał Trzaskowski received the support of 29.3 percent. respondents. Radosław Sikorski, in turn, gained the trust of 25.9 percent. study participants.

The survey results reveal that almost one fifth of respondents, or 19.3 percent, believe that both politicians would cope equally well on security issues. Nevertheless, 25.5 percent respondents do not have a strong opinion on this matter.
Interesting differences appear in the demographic breakdown. Radosław Sikorski gains the advantage among people aged 35-49, with higher education, with incomes exceeding PLN 7,000. PLN net and residents of the largest cities with a population exceeding 500,000. inhabitants.
Rafał Trzaskowski has solid support among the youngest voters up to 24 years of age, people with secondary education and residents of medium-sized cities.

Sikorski may want to showcase his appeal to the affluent and educated voters, while Trzaskowski could emphasize youthful energy and innovation to attract younger voters. With 25.5 percent of respondents siting on the fence when it comes to deciding who can handle security best, it’s a golden opportunity for both to sway the undecided with engaging campaigns.
What’s most noteworthy is that both candidates must remember that the political landscape is changing rapidly. The survey suggests that voters are increasingly concerned about security issues, making it essential to not just speak to them, but to listen and respond to what the electorate wants. They can’t afford to ignore how these large swathes of undecided voters could be their ticket to success in the primaries and beyond. After all, in politics, the only constant is change, and it’s better to ride the wave than get swept away!

Polling Drama: The Polish Presidential Primaries Heat Up!
Well, well, well! It looks like the Civic Platform is rolling out its very own episode of “Survivor: Political Edition.” On Saturday, the national board unanimously decided to organize primary elections to choose a presidential candidate. And hold onto your hats because the contenders are none other than Rafał Trzaskowski, mayor of the capital (yes, the guy you blame for the traffic every weekend), and Radosław Sikorski, the current head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I guess they figured picking a candidate was like choosing which flavor of ice cream to scoop—so many choices, and yet, somehow they still ended up with vanilla!
Trzaskowski, during a press conference, emphasized that the objective is to emerge from these primaries “strengthened” and with a “strong mandate.” Oh, lovely! I can just picture it—candidates emerging like superheroes from a smoke-filled room holding a sacred mandate in one hand and a clipboard full of campaign promises in the other. And here I was thinking the last time I saw someone with a “strong mandate” was during a game of charades!
Public Opinion: The Struggle is Real
Now, the polls are in, and according to a recent SW Research survey for “Rzeczpospolita,” the situation is as tight as a pair of gym shorts on a bad hair day! Trzaskowski is leading with a mere 29.3% support for handling security issues, while Sikorski isn’t that far behind at 25.9%. When deciding who would handle security better, it appears Polish voters are delightfully undecided, which probably means they’ll wait for the second round of voting—sort of like waiting for your dinner to settle before hitting the buffet!
Divide and Concur
It’s all very interesting when you analyze the demographics! Sikorski seems to resonate with the 35-49 age bracket who also have higher incomes and live in big cities. Maybe they see him as some sort of suave James Bond figure, while Trzaskowski captures the hearts of the youth, particularly those under 24. I guess the young folks are fascinated by a candidate who likely remembers what it was like to have a flip phone—talk about nostalgia! Who knew national security could have a youthful twist?
The Voter Dichotomy
But wait, there’s more! A whopping 19.3% of respondents believe that both candidates might handle security equally well, while 25.5% remain as noncommittal as a cat on a hot tin roof. So, what’s the takeaway? It appears the Polish electorate is stuck in a bit of a dilemma, teetering on the fence with their popcorn, waiting to see which way the political winds blow. Calm down, dear voters—don’t sprain your neck looking left and right!
Conclusion: Strategy Time
Ultimately, these findings are more than just numbers; they are clues for Donald Tusk’s party as they strategize on selecting a candidate who can truly appeal to the electorate’s security concerns. In a world where security is becoming more vital by the minute, knowing which candidate resonates with the public could be the golden ticket to electoral success. So, it looks like both candidates have their work cut out for them—polishing their campaign messages and adequately preparing for the debates ahead. Remember, folks, it’s about who can charm the socks off the voters while also convincing them they won’t need a security detail when taking a stroll in the park!
As we dive into this exciting primary saga, buckle up, everyone! It’s bound to be a rollercoaster ride filled with twists, turns, and a good dose of snarky commentary. Polish politics, ladies and gentlemen, it’s a TV series I wouldn’t change the channel from!
