If the presidential elections were held next Sunday, independent candidate Călin Georgescu would get 38.4%, followed by Nicușor Dan with 25.4% and Crin Antonescu with 15.8%, according to a poll conducted by AtlasIntel at the behest of Nicușor Dan, who published it on his personal Facebook page on Tuesday.
The poll was conducted on 2,947 respondents through random digital recruitment between February 21 and February 24. It has a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 2%. Călin Georgescu is increasing compared to a poll conducted by CURS at the end of January. At that time, he was rated at 37%. Nicușor Dan is also increasing, from 21% to 25.4%, while Antonescu is decreasing from 18% to 15.8%.
Unlike the CURS poll, Victor Ponta is also measured (7.5%). He has not officially announced that he will run, but said that signatures are being collected for a candidacy with his consent. In contrast, Diana Șoșoacă was not included in the AtlasIntel poll.
In the CURS poll, she was rated at 7%. Elena Lasconi, who at the end of last year reached the second round with Călin Georgescu, would be voted for by only 5.8% of respondents. George Simion, who has repeatedly stated that he will not run in the presidential elections where he supports Călin Georgescu, is also included in this poll.![]()
Who would win in the second round
Nicușor Dan is the favorite if the presidential elections were held next Sunday. According to the AtlasIntel poll, 45% would vote for the current mayor general, while 40.9% would vote for Călin Georgescu. In contrast, 14.1% of respondents said they did not know or would cancel their vote.![]()

The finalist in the December presidential elections, USR president Elena Lasconi, is rated with 7%, while Diana Șoșoacă, the leader of SOS Romania, who was banned from running in the 2024 elections, has 4%. Another Avangarde poll, conducted between January 10 and 16, offered the following ranking: Călin Georgescu – 38%, Crin Antonescu – 25%, Nicușor Dan – 17%, George Simion – 6%, Elena Lasconi – 6%.
