Popularity Gap Grows Between Main Parties, Nr. Of Undecided Rises
"Support for Hungary's all four main parliamentary parties has declined, while the number of those who do not know or would not tell who they would vote fore has risen, a survey conducted by pollster Tárki between October 4 and 18 showed.


Among decided voters with fixed party preference saying they would certainly go to the ballots, the support of main opposition party Fidesz rose to 66% from 64% in September, while that of the senior governing coalition member, the Socialist Party (MSZP), remained unchanged at 25%.

Among all people polled, the support for both Fidesz and MSZP shrunk to 33% (from 34%) and to 15% (from 16%), respectively.

Tárki said that if elections were to be held this Sunday, neither the junior governing coalition member, the liberal Free Democrats (SZDSZ), nor smaller opposition party, the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) would reach parliamentary threshold (5%). Among all polled, SZDSZ “enjoys" a 1% support and MDF 2%.

Among decided voters with fixed party preference saying they would certainly cast their vote at an election, support for the SZDSZ halved to 1% and support for the MDF remained unchanged at 4% (vs. 7% in July). 

Tárki has also found that 53% of eligible voters would go to the ballots this Sunday, up from 52% in July and 50% in September. "
