For the first time since the elections, the number expressing satisfaction with the government’s work fell below 50%, dropping to 45%, while the number who say that things in general are moving in the wrong direction is at 48%, up from 39% one month ago.

Fidesz nevertheless maintains its huge lead over other parties, with support among decided voters at 64%, down from 66%, compared to the Socialists at 20% up from 17% last month. Support for Jobbik and LMP remained steady at 11% and 4%, respectively. These figures are consistent with the results of a Tárki poll released Wednesday.

The results are based on a survey of 1,200 adults in the first week of December."
