Tusk vs. Czarnek: Poles Weigh In on Potential Prime Ministers

A recent SW Research survey reveals that 38.4 percent of Poles favor Donald Tusk as prime minister, while 20.2 percent back PiS candidate Przemysław Czarnek.

Head-to-Head Polling

The poll included only current Prime Minister Donald Tusk and former education minister Przemysław Czarnek, who is the PiS candidate for the position, as other parties have not officially nominated such candidates.

Data from the SW Research survey for “Wprost” shows that 38.4 percent of participants designated Donald Tusk as the future head of government, while 20.2 percent selected Przemysław Czarnek. Nearly the same percentage—20.5 percent—evaluated both politicians equally, and 20.9 percent had no opinion.

“Wprost” highlights that the votes were distributed similarly among genders, with 38.6 percent of female respondents and 38.2 percent of male respondents considering Donald Tusk the better prime minister.

International Media on PiS Infighting

According to “Politico,” divisions within PiS shortly before the parliamentary elections significantly weaken the conservative camp’s chances of removing Donald Tusk from power. A Pollster Research Institute survey for “Super Express” indicates that 62 percent of respondents do not believe PiS will return to power after the 2027 parliamentary elections without Mateusz Morawiecki.

Meanwhile, an Opinia24 survey conducted last week for TVN’s “Fakty” and TVN24 shows that 30 percent of respondents see Mateusz Morawiecki as a future prime minister more than Przemysław Czarnek. Only 11 percent chose the former education minister, 19 percent answered “both to the same extent,” and 40 percent did not know or refused to answer.
