Nezopont: Most Hungarians dissatisfied with opposition

According to the pollster, an election held this Sunday would be won by the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance with 55 percent of the vote, with just three opposition parties clearing the threshold for seats in parliament.

The leftist Democratic Coalition and radical Mi Hazank (Our Homeland) would each get 6 percent of the vote, while the satirical Two-Tailed Dog Party would have 5 percent.

Conservative Jobbik and the liberal Momentum Movement would both fail to secure parliamentary seats, ending up with just 4 percent each. The Socialist Party, green LMP and the small liberal Parbeszed party would receive 1 percent each, according to the poll.

Nezopont said that though 12 percent of voters are critical of the prime minister, they would not vote for any of the opposition parties, either. The pollster added that nearly one-third of opposition voters had become disenchanted with the left-wing parties.

Magyar Nemzet noted that the ruling parties had also dominated the municipal by-elections held last Sunday. It said Nezopont’s findings confirmed that whereas support for the ruling parties remains stable, the opposition is not only finding it hard to attract new voters but also to retain existing ones.
