WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's ruling centre-right Civic Platform is comfortably ahead in Sunday's parliamentary election, an exit poll showed immediately after polling stations closed.

The poll, conducted by TNS OBOP for national television, showed the pro-business, pro-EU Civic Platform winning 39.6 percent against 30.1 percent for the nationalist-conservative Law and Justice party of Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
