Tusk Faces Crunch Two Weeks to Fend Off Polish Nationalists

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his allies have less than two weeks to convince voters to stick with their ruling coalition after a surge in support for nationalists in a presidential election.

In what’s turned into a referendum on the government’s 18 months in power, Tusk ally Rafal Trzaskowski will face Law & Justice opponent Karol Nawrocki in a runoff on June 1. After Sunday’s first round, Trzaskowski led Nawrocki by less than two percentage points, a far narrower gap that polls had predicted.
