Poland's election campaign

In Ulrich Schmid's opinion, Donald Tusk performed better than Jarosław Kaczyński in last Friday's TV debate: "Tusk seemed fresher and above all better prepared, while Kaczynski seemed distracted at times and was unable to come up with convincing arguments for taking credit for the economic boom. ... Most of the countless political observers, including conservatives, saw the debate as a victory for Tusk. The public seemed to share this view and the PO recovered the ground it had lost in the opinion polls over the last few days. On Saturday around 30 percent of respondents favoured the PO, with the PiS close on its heels. However the new love doesn't seem to have lasted for long. According to the PGB Institute, on Sunday the PiS had already regained a six percentage point lead."
