New polls: Ruling Fidesz narrows gap with Tisza Party

A recent Republikon Institute survey suggests that the gap between Hungary’s ruling Fidesz–KDNP coalition and the opposition Tisza Party is shrinking, although changes remain within the poll’s margin of error.

Fidesz edges closer to Tisza

According to the August survey, the Tisza Party leads the overall population by 4 percentage points, down from 5 points in July and 6 points in early July, HVG writes. Among likely voters, the lead is slightly higher, with the Tisza Party ahead by 5 to 6 points. The poll, conducted via phone interviews with 1,000 participants between 21 and 27 August, is representative of Hungary’s adult population in terms of gender, age, education, and settlement type, with a margin of error of ±3.5%.

Ruling parties’ support more active than in early summer

The survey indicates that the ruling parties continue to dominate political discourse, and their supporters are slightly more active compared to early summer. As in previous months, five parties would surpass the 5% electoral threshold to enter parliament, including Mi Hazánk, the Democratic Coalition (DK), and the Two-Tailed Dog Party (Kétfarkú Kutya Párt).

Support for Fidesz among certain voters edged up from 34% in July to 35% in August, while Tisza’s support dropped from 43% to 41%: changes still within the margin of error. Meanwhile, the proportion of undecided voters decreased by three percentage points to 24%, and an additional 2% of respondents said they would vote for parties not included in the survey.

Similar poll earlier: Tisza’s lead halved

Two weeks prior, the IDEA Institute published a similar poll indicating that the Tisza Party’s lead over Fidesz had halved. Tisza Party leader Magyar Péter responded, claiming that internal data shows a 10-point lead over the ruling coalition among the entire population, which could translate into a two-thirds parliamentary majority.

  1. Magyar is Karacsony with better P.R. and an obscure track record.

    If you want 500% higher gas and electric bills, and hordes of third-world leeches roaming the streets of our towns and cities looking to rape and rob us, vote for Magyar!

  2. Fidesz has so thoroughly brainwashed many Hungarians with its’ media monopoly that many people walk around Hungary saying they know the Fidesz elite robs them blind but somehow the opposition must be worse. It’s a nation of FOOLS or as Brody Janos sang already years ago a nation of SHEEP. The plain truth is that the lives of Hungarians will never improve until the band of thieves is removed from office.

  3. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, nothing under the Prime Ministership of Victor Mihaly. Orban, his Fidesz Party, that have DELIVERED Hungary, into an “abyss” of a new and Dark age, for Hungary.
    Spring of 2026 – solidarity, the spreading of the FACTUAL destruction of Hungary, financially and economically, the SHATTERING of trust and respect not just in Europe, the European Union but Globally, in countries that are DEMOCRACY or “embrace” the core fundamentals of DEMOCRACY over and above DICTATORSHIP’s as is the “Friends” of Orban, his closest FRIENDS Russia and China that Orban, his “toxic in culture” his “Heinous” Fidesz Government have SOLD off – given over Hungary.
    Hungary – we have NOTHING to receive other than INCREASING tax payer created by the Orban – Fidesz Government citizens/population gargantuan DEBT.
    Orban – his Fidesz Government through the practice of FAILED economic and Financial policies especially under Orban’s “gofer” the former Minister, the “dud” – Mihaly Varga, now the Governor of the Central Hungarian Bank that see’s us as a country with NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING in Government funds of the taxes paid by the citizens/population of Hungary, absolutely NOTHING to INVEST using tax payers money into the FUTURE of Hungary.
    Truth is Truth.
    Spring of 2026 the NEED to ensure Truth, truth and TRUTH – is presented injected by ALL means out and into the citizenship/population of Hungary.
    Hungary – greed, selfishness and exploitation, the “greasing” of POCKETS known as the continuous “toxic” culture from Orban, right down and “infested” into the Fidesz Government / Party.
    Hungary – we have been be-trayed, cheated and NEVER, never treated with RESPECT but subjected to “lies of Un-Truth” the fabrication of Truth, mis-lead that DELIVER’s us as a country by Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government in a position – fighting in millions to SURVIVE with 1.2 million Hungarians living in POVERTY, in an “ageing” decreasing population, that Quality of Life in growing millions of Hungarians grows being humongous – PRESSURIZED.
    Spring of 2026, solidarity, the Power of the People, the POWER of their RIGHT to Vote under Democracy, for there Freedom, there Liberty there Future, the FUTURE of Hungary as a DEMOCRACY having a VOICE that under Democracy its CORE being DIALOGUE – not under an DICTATORIAL “regime” styled conducted Government, of closeness in conduct to the DARKENED years of 1945-1989.
    The past (15) fifteen years, through the Victor Mihaly. Orban Prime Ministership which has exploded “grown” in his CONDUCT as the Prime Minister of Hungary, being “factually” in Europe, the European Union and Globally referred to RIGHTLY – as the “Judas” of DEMOCRACY.
    Vote – the NEED to Vote the POWER of our Vote that will decide the citizens, the “ageing” decreasing in number of the population of Hungary – our FUTURE what as a country we want and to live in, be the FUTURE of Hungary.

  4. Fidesz will win. If nothing else, they will campaign on Brussels, immigration and subsidies for utilities bills. If they want to win, Tisza will have to guarantee that they would not change the current government’s stance on these issues.
