Poles vote on Sunday in a presidential ballot that could place significant curbs on the power of their nationalist government.
President Andrzej Duda is an ally of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party and if he loses, the opposition could force a big change in Polish politics.
His closest rival is the liberal, centre-right mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski.
Sunday's vote is expected to go to a run-off in two weeks' time.
The election is being watched closely across Europe, as Mr Duda's Law and Justice allies have frequently clashed with the EU over their controversial reforms to the judiciary and media.
Duda's pretty backwards.
