New Medián Poll: Tisza Takes Commanding Lead Over Fidesz
The Tisza Party, activated just over a year ago by Péter Magyar, now holds a significant lead over Fidesz, according to the latest Medián poll. In all, 51% of decided party voters favoured Tisza, and only 36% supported Fidesz.

The poll, based on a representative sample of 1,000 people surveyed during June 3-7, highlights strong generational and educational divides.

Tisza dominates among voters under 40, with 58% support, and also leads among those aged 40-49.

Fidesz retains an edge only among voters over 50, although support there has also declined.

Educational background plays a key role, as nearly half of university and high school graduates back Tisza, while Fidesz performs best among those with only primary school education.

Urban voters overwhelmingly support Tisza, but Fidesz maintains a narrow lead in small towns.

Public desire for change is growing, as 62% of respondents said they want a new government after the next election, up from 49% a year ago.

Magyar reacted to the results by thanking supporters and emphasising that Tisza “knows its task and feels its historical responsibility”.
