A survey has found that the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance is more popular than the opposition parties combined.
A survey by the Nézőpont Institute has found that the ruling parties would win more than 60 percent of Hungary’s European parliamentary seats if the elections were held this Sunday.
The poll commissioned by Magyar Idők found that Fidesz-KDNP would win 13 out of Hungary’s 21 seats in the EP, followed by conservative Jobbik with 4 seats. The Socialists and the Democratic Coalition would win a combined 3 seats, while green LMP would send 1 representative to the legislative body.
Fidesz currently has 12 delegates in the EP, Jobbik has 3, the Socialists and DK have 2 each and LMP and the now-defunct Együtt-Párbeszéd alliance have 1 each.
The poll found that the ruling parties were backed by 39 percent of the entire electorate. Figures show that Fidesz-KDNP continue to have more supporters than the opposition parties combined. Support for Jobbik has stagnated at 10 percent.
Among decided voters, Fidesz-KDNP’s list would capture 52 percent of the vote in a general election held this Sunday. Jobbik would receive 18 percent, while the Socialist-Párbeszéd alliance and DK would each be backed by 8 percent of voters.
