Warsaw’s liberal mayor and his insurgent populist challenger are locked in a dead heat as they fight for the presidency of Poland, exit polls projected after Sunday’s head-to-head vote, leaving the country tilting between two wildly different political futures.

One poll has pro-EU candidate Rafal Trzaskowski in the lead, while the other indicates conservative Karol Nawrocki will win.
