Orbán retains massive lead despite protests in Hungary – Poll

The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat parties have retained a massive lead of 54 percent among decided voters and 39 percent across the whole sample despite anti-government protests in December, pollster Nézőpont reported citing its latest poll carried out on a representative sample of 5,000 voting-age adults in January.

Nézőpont head Ágoston Sámuel Mraz told public media on Tuesday that

conservative Jobbik would garner 13 percent, the Socialist-Párbeszéd parties 10 percent, Democratic Coalition 7 percent and LMP 5 percent among decided voters if elections were held this weekend.

The Momentum Movement with 4 percent, the satirical Two-Tailed Dog and radical Mi Hazánk with 3 percent each would not clear the parliamentary threshold.

According to the poll, the ruling parties would have 14 mandates out of a total 21 if the European parliamentary elections were held this weekend.

Jobbik could send 3 MEPs to the European Parliament, while Socialists-Párbeszéd would have 2 deputies, and the Democratic Coalition and LMP one each.
