Jobbik stood on 25 percent, up from 19 percent in January, the Socialists on 12 percent, down from 15 percent, and the leftist opposition Democratic Coalition (DK) on 9 percent, up from 7 percent, in this group.
The proportion of respondents who said the country was “going in the wrong direction” rose from 54 percent to 60 percent in a month. The share of respondents satisfied with the government’s work fell from 45 percent in November to 39 percent in February, the poll said. Every tenth voter who had chosen Fidesz in 2014 would “not do so today”, HVG said.
Fully 73 percent of the population support Hungary’s membership in the European Union and this rate was 78 percent among Fidesz voters, the poll said.
