Fresh survey: The opposition Tisza party leads Fidesz by 500 thousand votes
The Tisza party, under the leadership of Péter Magyar, has surged ahead as Hungary’s most popular political force, according to a new poll. With growing momentum, the Tisza party is reshaping the political landscape ahead of future elections.
Tisza party to become the leading party?
As 24.hu reports, the Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, has emerged as the leading political force in Hungary, according to an April 2025 poll conducted by the 21 Research Centre. Among the general population, Tisza enjoys 34% support, putting it 6 percentage points ahead of the governing Fidesz party, which stands at 28%. This lead represents a potential difference of 400,000 to 500,000 voters. Smaller parties, such as Our Homeland (4%), the Two-tailed Dog Party (3%), and the Democratic Coalition (2%), trail far behind, while other parties fail to surpass the 1% threshold.
When narrowing the focus to those who say they would definitely turn out to vote, Tisza’s lead becomes even more pronounced. Among these committed voters, the Tisza party holds a commanding 14-point advantage over Fidesz, polling at 51% compared to 37%. This suggests that Péter Magyar’s supporters are currently more energised and more likely to participate in an election than backers of the incumbent government. It is worth noting, however, that the actual turnout in an election may differ from these figures, with the poll carrying a margin of error of approximately ±4 percentage points for sub-groups.
Fidesz support remains stable
The data also reveal that Tisza’s rise has coincided with a decline in support for smaller opposition parties. Compared to October 2024, when Tisza had 26% support, the party has gained 8 percentage points. In contrast, Fidesz support has remained relatively stable, dropping only slightly from 29% to 28%. This suggests that Tisza’s gains have come largely at the expense of minor parties and possibly some previously undecided voters. The shift indicates a consolidation of the opposition vote around Tisza in recent months.
About the survey
The survey was carried out from 1 to 7 April 2025 using a hybrid methodology. A total of 1,000 respondents were interviewed, with younger voters participating online via a link sent by SMS, and those aged 65 and over surveyed by telephone. The sample was weighted to reflect the Hungarian population based on the 2022 census, ensuring representation by location, age, gender, and education. While the questionnaire included topics for multiple clients, the question on party preference was independently commissioned.

When you have allegiance to a governing party but are dissatisfied with their performance one of three things may happen at an election. You may hold your nose and go out to vote for them (cult followers). You may be so dissatisfied that you might try a vote for the opposition (least likely). You may decide to show your dissatisfaction by not showing up to vote (happens quite often). Fidesz supporters tend to be very ideological which means that to become an opposition supporter they would have to throw out to a great extent their preexisting world view which people will not do. Peter Magyar’s strategy is to try to pry some Fidesz supporters to Tisza by presenting a somewhat similar conservative viewpoint but promising to rid Hungary of corruption and improve public services. This will only work over an extended period of time but the problem is that the Fidesz controlled media makes it extremely difficult for him to get his message out.
I share a FACTUAL historical story.
It is HOPED my “sharing” with fellow Hungarians WILL assist to voting out, the “ridding” of the name Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government from being the Government of Hungary.
Hungarians please we MUST participate using our right to VOTE – to bring down – remove Orban & his Fidesz Government from being, there SLAUGHTERING of our country – Hungary, as the Government of Hungary.
Sir. Christopher Wren 1632-1723.
His masterpiece being his design of St. Pauls Cathedral in the City of London – completed 1720.
Read of his LIFE – an Education – a “genius” of his time.
Taken to view his completed masterpiece not in good health at age 82 years of age, he stood in the Nave of St Pauls Cathedral and was asked by the then Bishop of London :
“Sir Christopher we would like to erect a monument dedicated to You, for what You have GIVEN us, this glorious piece of architecture – this Cathedral of St. Paul – to be a legacy to you and your life, your work.”
Sir Christopher Wren looked the Bishop in his face and simple replied ;
“Your Grace – I do not need a monument but my Legacy is to just stand as we are in this Nave, look around you, as this is my Legacy”.
Hungarians – your NEED to vote the PLACE of your Mind at this point in time, when we GO to vote in the Spring of 2026, knowing the Disarray – the SHAMBLES our country is in at this time, months away still from Spring 2026, that in ALL probability our country will DESCEND deeper into a BLACKENED Hole – before the Spring of 2026.
Sir Christopher Wren – if this ASSIST’s – the just standing looking ALL around YOU – what POLITICAL Party you choose to VOTE in favour of, in your CIRCUMSTANCES – that could mean the switching of alliance away from the Orban-Fidesz Government casting your vote for the Peter Magyar – Tisza Party ???
It’s your DECISION – its your Vote – its your OWNERSHIP and YOU are VOTING for what YOU believe, what Political Party you believe – is going to give YOU firstly a FUTURE and secondly give our country HUNGARY a FUTURE.
Consider what Sir Christopher Wren did – just STAND and look around you for its SMASHING us ALL in the FACE – this LEGACY – this MONUMENT of DISTRUCTION – delivered us by the “ill-fated” and “Heinous” Fidesz Government of Hungary led by Victor Mihaly. Orban who have be-trayed and embarrassed our country, that sees Orban and his Fidesz Government being RIGHTFULLY referred to as “treasonous” and as the “Judas” – not just Europe, the European Union but to countrys GLOBALLY that are GOVERNED under DEMOCRACY.
“LOOK around YOU” – its a HORRIFIC picture, the LEGACY delivered us by – Victor Mihaly. Orban.

Hungary stands out as the one who stands for stopping the killing in Ukraine. The EU and UK are dying cultures and very low birth rate and are spending billion on immigrants that is the main reason they are there. In the UK only 20% have jobs. When they become the majority like in many UK cities you will submit to Islam. You poor bastards who think other- you only need to look what has happened in the UK and other EU countries. Speak out and tell the truth you can get arrested. 3400 arrested in the UK – 300 in russia-the EU is working very hard to control speech on the internet – billion dollar fines Elon’s X- tell me again how repressed you are in Hungary.
Sorry US left took control of USAID with major funding to the left NGOs here and other countriess around the world. It paid for the revolt in Ukraine in 2014 insisting it was corruption and must be destroyed.
