Polish conservative taps less educated Catholic right before vote

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish conservative Lech Kaczynski is using support from an influential Catholic radio station to try to close the gap on the frontrunner in Sunday's presidential election.

Three new opinion polls on Tuesday showed moderate Donald Tusk backed by 37-41 percent and Kaczynski by 32-33 percent. A 15-point gap separated the two men two weeks ago.

Kaczynski has built momentum by aggressively targeting his campaign at mainly less educated and poorer Poles who listen to Catholic broadcaster Radio Maryja (Radio Mary), which calls on listeners to "sink the (Civic) Platform" at the ballot box.

1. Sounds similar to Ave Maria Radio or Relvent Radio here
as most of those shows are "untra-tradionalist"/GOP Party platform shows. Many of those are funded in part or syndicated after being created by Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan of Ave Maria College/University/City/Radio fame.
