What is the most important criterion for choosing the president? There is no one simple answer to this. For some voters, these will be ideological issues, family matters or even the appearance of candidates. The election program will be important for others, including Economic aspects. And it was the latter that we decided in Business Insider Polska through the Uce Research studio to ask Poles before the second round, which awaits us on June 1. In the study, we only took into account those who declare that they would go to the urns.

As you can see, in this aspect, the president of Warsaw currently has a fairly clear advantage, but what is important – Both still have something to fight for, because with the result that promises to be razor blades, any undecided candidate can be at a premium.
