Poll: Hungary’s Fidesz Near Two Thirds Majority
Hungary’s ruling parties would get nearly a two-thirds majority if parliamentary elections were held this weekend, according to Nézőpont. The Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance enjoys the support of 40% of potential voters.

The radical nationalist opposition Jobbik party was favoured by 27% while the Socialist Party was preferred by 12%, green party LMP 8%, the Democratic Coalition 6%, and Együtt 4%.

Based on those figures, the pollster calculated that the Fidesz-Christian Democrats would get 123 seats in parliament, which would nearly ensure it a two-thirds majority and it would continue to secure a stable and strong position to the ruling alliance.

Jobbik would have 38 places, the Socialists, DK and Együtt would have a combined 29 places and LMP 9 mandates in parliament.

The representative survey was conducted between January 24 and 26 by interviewing 1,000 voting-age Hungarians.
