Hungarian Socialists Overtake Jobbik Among All Voters
- 28 Jan 2016 8:00 AM
The Socialist Party has made up ground and overtaken the radical nationalist Jobbik party in terms of overall support, albeit the party’s lead is within the margin of error in a new poll by the Nézőpont Institute. The ruling Fidesz-Christian-Democrat alliance has maintained its lead among Nézőpont’s entire sample, capturing 32%.
Support for the governing alliance continues to be higher than the combined support for opposition parties, the phone poll of 1,000 votingage adults conducted in mid-January found.
The Socialist Party slotted into second place with 11% while Jobbik remained at 10%. The leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) stood at 5% among the entire sample, while small opposition parties Együtt and Dialogue for Hungary (PM) captured 1% each.
Green LMP maintained its support of 3%. Among “potential voters”, Fidesz- KDNP had 44% support, Jobbik 23%, the Socialists 15%, DK 7%, LMP 5%, and Együtt 2% while PM had 1%.
