Traditionally, agrarian areas in Poland proved to be a bastion of right-wing views, which was reflected in the results of the vote. Karol Nawrocki received the highest support there. 64.4% voted for him. On the another hand, 36.6 inhabitants of the village pointed to Rafał Trzaskowski.

The voices in large and average - size cities were completely different. It was here that Rafał Trzaskowski enjoyed the top confidence.
