Poland’s momentous presidential runoff too close to call

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — An exit poll for Poland’s presidential runoff Sunday showed a race that is too close to call between the conservative, populist incumbent and the liberal, pro-Europe mayor of Warsaw — a battle that reflected the deep divisions in this European Union nation. The exit poll by the Ipsos institute showed President Andrzej Duda with 50.4% of the vote and challenger Rafal Trzaskowski with 49.6%. But the poll’s margin of error means it’s not yet possible to say with certainty which 48-year-old candidate won. Long lines were still visible outside some polling stations Sunday night, forcing them to stay open past their official closing time. Many considered this one of the most crucial elections in Poland’s three decades of democracy.
