POLAND: Profile Of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

GLOBAL POST/
For years Tusk was seen by many as a political operator, who avoided hard work and dodged any ministerial appointments in previous center-right governments. His greatest joy seemed to be playing soccer with his buddies. But part of Tusk's success stems from who he is not, namely his predecessor, Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Tusk’s Civic Platform Party approval rating has risen to 53% support — more or less the position it has held over the last two years — while Kaczynski’s Law and Justice has been unable to break through more than a quarter of the electorate.
