Pro-government survey: Orbán ‘almost twice as popular as Márki-Zay’
Committed voters who would prefer Viktor Orbán as prime minister outweigh those who back Péter Márki-Zay by almost 2:1, a March survey by Századvég shows.
Fully 62 percent preferred the incumbent as against 32 percent in favour of the prime ministerial candidate of the united opposition, the think-thank said on Monday.
In October last year, Márki-Zay had the support of 41 percent of Szazadveg’s respondents.
Also, Orbán’s popularity in Budapest is higher than Márki-Zay’s, with 52 percent of the capital city’s committed voters behind the incumbent compared with 43 percent for the mayor of Hodmezovasarhely.
When it comes to large cities and towns around the country, Orbán has 58 percent and 68 percent backing respectively, while in smaller towns and villages he is preferred by 66 percent or active voters.
Meanwhile, a tendency to prefer Márki-Zay among uncertain voters only accounts for 10 percent of them.
Orbán is also more popular among young voters, with 48 percent of those aged 18-29 preferring the prime minister as against 41 percent for Márki-Zay.
Századvég found that 45 percent of respondents identifying as political centrists supported Orbán as against 44 percent who preferred his challenger.

A survey that is not independent and that cannot be verified by independent sources is not worth the paper it is written upon.
“It ain’t over till the Fat Lady Sings ” – no substance of Fact in this survey – that could be viewed as a bit of scaremongering – through Propaganda.
Post 1989 – BIGGEST voting decision by citizens of Hungary – the FUTURE of Hungary – we have been ASKED.
We live in CHALLENGING times – not helped by an Economy that is in Serious Trouble.
The “Mood” of Europe inclusive of the United Kingdom and Globally, the reaction to this conflict of war between the Ukraine and Russia dominates and will determine greatly post 3rd April 2022 National Voting Day in Hungary – our FUTURE.
The vote for our prefered Party and Leadership under what form of Political Philosophy and Style – the Hungary of the Future – that is in our Hands and we destine ourselves – take ownership and responsibility – by the vote we cast 3rd April 2022.
Hungary – we have been placed on the “New Silk Road” – of East meeting the West – by the continuation of our Relationship with China.
Hungary – continuing to esculate – we knew it was Happening – our relationship – our dependancy of Russia, that expands outside – supply of gas into Hungary.
Hungary – we KNOW – the Russian invasion of the Ukraine – the anger Globally – the exception being China – that this decision by Russia – to invade – the IMPACT this is inflicting on the lives of millions of Human beings.
Russia – we continue to witness the attempts to STRANGULATE the Economy of Russia by use of Sanctions – which we can expect the list to grow – which Russia – its PEOPLE – have BIG decisions in the immediate future to consider or MAKE – that is the quality of life – what is ahead of them – if any.
China – will they continue to “Sit on the Fence” – refuse to take a position or comment – what thet THINK – of the Russian/Ukgraine – conflict of War ?
It can’t be Dismissed, that China – it opens its mouth to widly that “Sways” – that Russia is right in its invasion process of the Ukgraine – or viewed in its comments that give no indication – that PEACE not War – should be what Globally the World needs in Europe – the Government of China – could find SANCTIONS placed on them – rightfully GLOBALLY.
Hungary – we are somewhat “Wedged” – by our RELATIONSHIPS – with Russia & China – that the European Union
the United Kingdom and the United States of America – all have full knowledge and appear NOT to Favour – the “Closeness” and reliabilty – Financial & “other” – that Hungary embrace & practice with Russia & China.
J.F.K – the 35th elected President of the United States of America – in his Presidecy – we know occured the Cuban Crisis.
We know – through History – the potential or threat – the use of Nuclear Weaponry that was seen in this crisis as a threat to Mankind – all those decades past.
WHAT – all these decades ON – what CARNAGE on Humanity would they Inflict ???
J.F.K quote – in the course of the U.S.A. – Cuban/Russian – Crisis
“These are dangerous and un-certain times we Live.
We can’t expect our lives to be easy – not in these years – not in these decdes”.
History – never Lies and strange names of countries keep re-appearing – that continue to derail any chance of Global Peace.
Potsdam – year 1945 with the exception to a large degree – opposed by Winston. Spencer. Churchill then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom – President Trueman of the United States of America and prior to the Potsdam Conference & Agreements – by General Dwight . D. Eisenhower – Supreme Commander of Allied Forces and post Second World War becoming the 34th President of the United States of America – Russia under Starlin – received “lands” – that post 1945 on – decades on – that in 2022 – still are a – MESS – through decisions made at Potsdam.
“The Sun Comes up To-Morrow” – Hopefully.
History has proven that Hungary has no true allies in the world.
Hungary finally has a Prime Minister who loves the Hungarian people and Hungary. The FIDESZ party does not want to cede sovereignty and the rule of law to the Brussels’ dictatorship or globalists. Neither the EU, Biden and the US or the globalists care about Hungary’s people or Hungary’s interest.
Yes, the Hungarian economy was hit badly by COVID just like all other countries. It will take some time to fully recover.
Presently, it in Hungary’s interest is to coexist with the EU as well as Russia and China. Hungary does not owe special consideration to the EU, US or to Ukraine, a country that discriminates and oppresses the Hungarian minority. Hungary is doing the right thing to help the Ukrainian refugees.
The FIDESZ government is the only government that consults the people on issues not encountered prior to election. This is far different from the liberal democrat governments, where once a member is elected, the population has no influence or say until the next election. A liberal socialist government is tantamount to a 4 year dictatorship.
On April 3rd the voters should acknowledge that a populous conservative government is the best for the country and vote accordingly.
Our PM also likes power and what goes on behind the scenes nobody actually knows……….. we’re drip fed positive information to portray him in a favourable way. Anything which casts doubt is always, always the fault of ‘the left’ , a rather immature way of dealing with politics.
Apparently word is the new President is a lesbian… anyone else aware of this?? Bit of a dampener on her mother father family values package!
We are consulted on things he already knows the answer to as the way questionnaires are worded are designed to give him the answer he wants, and at such a huge percentage too! Amazing! Complete waste of time and money.
Not a huge amount of respect for his people, money talks hence all the bribes………..although we’re all wondering whether he can keep up these handouts in line with the rise of inflation!!!
