New Survey: 45% of Hungarians Don't Know Novak is President
The majority of Hungarians are satisfied with President Katalin Novák’s first year in office, according to a fresh survey by the Nézőpont Institute.

The survey found that 55% of Hungarians knew that Novak is the head of state.

Fully 60% of Hungarians and 62% of those who know Novák is the president are satisfied with her performance so far.

Nézőpont said the reason behind Novak’s high approval rating was that her performance was in line with expectations, emphasising her role as an ambassador for national interests abroad and for national unity at home.
