A reminder of TV news footage of street riots in 2006. "The situation is the exact same as it was in '56, only now we have the Globalists instead of the Soviet with their puppet government..."It remains an open question whether the two smaller parties will be able to collect a sufficient number of votes to get into Parliament. Thus far, the liberal Free Democrats' Alliance (SZDSZ) seems to have a better chance, but it is still below the 5% threshold required to form a Parliamentary group.
Voters with a clear party preference have mostly remained faithful to their preferred parties, with support for the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) having stagnated at a level of 44% since early December. At the same time, opposition leader Fidesz has been able to drum up additional support, rising from 47% to 49% among certain voters in February.
Poll results among the entire voter population are not surprising, either. There has been an insignificant change from the previous month, with Socialist support improved from 30% to 31%, while Fidesz votes increased from 33% to 34%. SZDSZ's election campaign seems to have been successful: although support for the party did not change among voters with a distinct political preference, it improved from 3% to 4% in the entire population.
February's Medán poll results may be unpleasant for minor opposition party Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF), as its popularity declined from 3% to 2% since the previous survey.£
