Exit polls: The incumbent president is leading in the elections in Bulgaria, according to the first data of three exit polls, between 35 and 36.5% of voters voted for Iliana Yutova. Her main rival Andrei Girov, according to polls, obtained from 32.2 to 32.5% of the votes. The second round of the presidential election is expected next Sunday, November 1. In recent weeks, following the drone attacks on merchant ships in the Black Sea, differences in the attitudes of the race's supporters regarding support for Ukraine have arisen. Against this background, the ratings of YouTube, which advocates dialogue with Moscow and against military support in Ukraine, fell. Giorov, on the contrary, won over voters who were disappointed by the authorities' cautious response to the drone strikes.
