According to a new poll by Századvég, Hungary's ruling alliance of Fidesz and the Christian Democrats continues to hold a lead over the other parties.
Századvég told MTI on Thursday that taking the voting population as a whole, the ruling parties are backed by 38 percent of the electorate, with their nearest opposition rival, the Tisza Party, on 32 percent. They are followed by the Two-Tailed Dog Party (MKKP) with 9 percent and the radical Mi Hazank (Our Homeland) party with 6 percent. The leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) is backed by 5 percent.
The opposition Socialist Party and Momentum are currently below the 5 percent threshold for seats in parliament, Századvég said.
Altogether 6 percent of the poll's respondents were either undecided or declined to answer.
Among decided voters, Fidesz and the Christian Democrats would capture 40 percent of the votes if an election were held now. The Tisza Party would get 35 percent, MKKP 9 percent, Mi Hazank 7 percent and DK 5 percent. Momentum was backed by 2 percent of decided voters, while the Socialists and other parties were supported by 1 percent each.
