But more recent surveys have shown that the gap is narrowing considerably as the day of the decision is getting closer.
On Wednesday, a survey of 4,000 people by Atlasintel placed the level of the two candidates at 48% each. Above all, Atlasintel included a sample of the large Romanian population of the diaspora, among which Simion is extremely popular.
Then, Thursday, Dan took the lead in a survey for the first time, with 52% to 48% of Zion. This survey, from the IRSOP Independent Research Institute, sounded 950 people.
Many Romanians are reluctant to say how they will vote, with fearing repercussions. Given the high level of cynicism concerning the process and the fact that the polls previously underestimated support for the right wings, are these investigations really reliable?
“Yes, we can trust them,” said Radu Magdin, a former Romanian government advisor who is now CEO of SmartLink Communications. “It will be very tight on Sunday. It is very unlikely that Simion wins with a margin. Either it wins, or even it is a strong possibility that Unucșor dan catches and wins, depending on increased participation.”

The election of Romania was largely carried out on television and on social networks. None of the two candidates spent a lot of time on the field, on tour in the country, in the last days, and there has been no pressing of flesh or to hold rally in key constituencies. Simion was not even in the country.
