POLL – Fidesz support increases

Budapest, July 27 (MTI) – Support for ruling Fidesz increased by 3 percentage points from June to 31 percent in July among all voters, the latest poll by Nézőpont Institute released on Wednesday shows.

Jobbik lost 1 percentage point from June and had 12 percent support in July. Left-wing parties including the Socialists, DK, Együtt and PM had a combined 17 percent support, Nézőpont said.

The Socialists increased their support by 2 percentage points to 10 percent in July. At the same time, DK lost 2 percentage points and stood at 5 percent. Nézőpont said the changes may be the result of the appointment of new party officials by the Socialists. The impact could be a one-off considering that combined support for the left-wing parties remained unchanged, it added.

LMP maintained its support at 5 percent, and the Együtt and PM parties at 1 percent each.

The poll was made by interviewing a representative sample of 1,000 adults between July 15 and 17.
