Even the Fidesz-close pollster measured significant strengthening for Tisza Party
The Fidesz-Christian Democrats have maintained their support, with 45 percent of decided voters favouring the ruling alliance, while the opposition Tisza Party has increased its backing to 35 percent since the European parliamentary elections held in June, the Nézőpont Institute said on Thursday.
Support of the leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) has fallen to 6 percent, of radical Our Homeland to 5 percent and of Momentum to 3 percent in the past three months, according to Nézőpont’s latest poll.
If general elections were held now, Fidesz would come out as the clear winner, the pollster said. Among all voting age adults, Fidesz has about 2.5 million active voters.
The Tisza Party has close to 2 million active voters and some 170,000 reserve supporters, Nézőpont said.
Nézőpont said that if the elections were held this Sunday, only Fidesz-KDNP, the Tisza Party, DK and Our Homeland would clear the 5-percent threshold to form a four-party parliament.
Péter Magyar, the head of the Tisza Party, regularly communicates about 39% popular support for his party but acknowledges that Fidesz still leads.
