Marcel Ciolacu vs. Mircea Geoana. If Marcel Ciolacu and Mircea Geoana were to reach the second round of the presidential elections, 55.6% of respondents who have chosen a candidate say they would vote for the former NATO Deputy Secretary General, and 44.4% for the current Prime Minister. Marcel Ciolacu vs. Elena Lasconi. If Marcel Ciolacu and Elena Lasconi were to reach the second round of the presidential elections, 53% of respondents who have chosen a candidate would vote for the current Prime Minister, and 47% for the USR leader. Marcel Ciolacu vs. Nicolae Ciuca. If Marcel Ciolacu and Nicolae Ciuca were to reach the second round of the presidential elections, 63.1% of respondents who have chosen a candidate say they would vote for the current Prime Minister, and 36.9% for the PNL leader. The INSCOP opinion poll was commissioned by the newspaper Libertatea. The data was collected between October 11-18, 2024, using the CATI method (telephone interviews), with a simple, stratified sample volume of 1106 individuals, representative of significant socio-demographic categories (gender, age, occupation) for the non-institutionalized population of Romania, aged 18 and over.   The maximum allowable data error is +/-2.95%, with a confidence level of 95%.
