Nézőpont Poll: Support For Jobbik Drops By Third From September
- 26 Nov 2015 8:00 AM
Support for the radical nationalist Jobbik party dropped by one third from September to November, which reflects the failure of Jobbik’s efforts to become a “people’s party”, a poll by the Nézőpont Institute said. The poll taken on Nov. 14- 19 showed that two-thirds of Hungarians were dissatisfied with the work of the leftist parties, Nézőpont said.
It is a bad sign for the opposition Socialists that 18% of all voters still consider Ferenc Gyurcsány, former prime minister and current head of the Democratic Coalition (DK), the leader of the left, and only 5% named Socialist leader József Tóbiás as the leading figure, Nezőpont added.
Jobbik enjoyed the support of 17% of all voters in September but this dropped to 12% in October and dropped further to 11% in November.
The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrats received 34% support from all voters recorded in November, unchanged from September.
The Socialists received an unchanged 7% and the DK 5% of support.
Együtt’s popularity dropped from 2 to 1%, while the PM party received 1% and the green LMP 4%, unchanged from October.
A total of 35% said they would not vote or refused to reveal their party preference.
Among potential voters, Fidesz had 48% support, Jobbik 22%, the Socialists 9%, DK 7%, Együtt 2%, PM 1%, LMP 6%.
