Tisza Party gained a point, while Fidesz lost six among total population, survey shows

Hungary’s ruling party has consolidated its position, while Fidesz has continued to lose support – among other things, this is what Medián’s latest survey, conducted in early November has found, as reported by hvg360. According to the poll, among the overall population, the Tisza Party currently stands at 55 percent and Fidesz at 16 percent, while among those with a party preference who are certain to vote, the ratio is 68 to 20.

Compared to the last data from September, support for the Tisza Party has increased by 1 percentage point among the total population, by 3 percentage points among those with a party preference, and by 4 percentage points among those certain to vote. Meanwhile, Fidesz’s support has dropped by 6 percentage points both among the population overall, as well as among those with a party preference, and by 7 percentage points among those certain to vote. The former governing party lost the most voters among those with lower levels of education, those living in Budapest, men, and those aged 50–64.

According to the survey, the Tisza Party only benefited slightly from Fidesz’s losses: Mi Hazánk also gained a few percentage points, and the number of undecided voters has increased. Mi Hazánk currently stands at 9 percent among the total population and at 11 percent both among those with a party preference and among certain voters. The survey also found that an absolute majority—59 percent—believe things are generally heading in the right direction in the country, while 32 percent believe they are heading in the wrong direction.
