Orbán’s alliance maintain ‘massive lead’

The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrats (KDNP) have maintained their “massive lead” according to a poll conducted in August, with 53 percent of decided voters stating they would support the party alliance if the elections were held now, daily Magyar Nemzet said on Wednesday, citing a poll by Nézőpont.

The number of opposition supporters stayed unchanged or dropped last month, the paper said.

The Democratic Coalition (DK) and Momentum would receive 11 percent each on the party list.

Support for conservative Jobbik was 8 percent among “active voters” according to the poll made last month, representing a 1 percentage point drop from the previous month. Nézőpont said, noting that support for Jobbik had been below 10 percent for several months.

The voter base of the Socialists-Párbeszéd decreased by a similar extent to 6 percent among decided voters and

the satirical Two-tailed Dog Party (4 percent), LMP (3 percent) and radical Mi Hazánk (3 percent) all stayed below the 5 percent threshold for gaining seats in parliament, Nezopont said.
