Péter Magyar’s party surges in new poll, but PM Orbán may keep his seat even if defeated – here’s how
April’s election could shatter records with sky-high turnout and a nail-bitingly close finish. The latest poll, commissioned by left-leaning daily Népszava from the Publicus Institute, shows the flag leaning heavily towards the Tisza Party – yet one of Hungary’s top political pundits insists Fidesz might still have a lifeline, even if they lose. Remarkably, the economy’s upbeat numbers are backing Orbán’s staying power, despite four years of stagnation or outright slump.
This Népszava-ordered poll conducted by Publicus was taken after the government’s massive pre-election giveaway spree: armed forces got their weapon bonuses, pensioners pocketed an extra half-month’s payout, family tax breaks swelled, and more mums qualified for income tax exemptions. The only promise left dangling? A hefty gross 152,000-forint bonus for teachers (net 100,000 forints) – its impact remains a mystery.
Even so, Publicus clocked a whopping Tisza lead, forecasting turnout as high as 84% – meaning the Hungarian parliament might boil down to just three parties. Among all adults, Tisza leads 35-30; sure voters shift it to 40-35; and committed party backers? A thumping 47-39, nearly 10 points. The big two’s fans are locked in too: 89% and 88% vow to vote no matter what.
Publicus predicts a three-party parliament, with Mi Hazánk scraping in at 5-7%. No dice for DK or the Two-Tailed Dog Party crossing the 5% hurdle.
What boosts Tisza’s win odds?
- On one hand—and most compellingly—the public opinion polls themselves: since 2006, there’s never been a moment when Fidesz hasn’t dominated the surveys, and by a mile at that. That’s why Orbán had to ditch his usual playbook and go head-to-head with Péter Magyar in open confrontation. Some analysts reckon this could even escalate to a full-blown prime ministerial debate.
- Half of those polled would cheer if Orbán toppled; just over a third if he hangs on.
Excellent article that clearly illustrates the connections! So let’s wait and see whether Orban ends up being kicked out of the EU or whether Hungary dares to make a new start.
I am making a real GOOD MONEY (300$ to 400$ / hr )online from my laptop.

All depends on how the EU and Ukraine have managed to rig the election ., like Moldova and Romania.. Hungarians don’t want war and don’t want to support the tyrant in Kiev .. don’t believe the polls
Did you miss, that Mi Hazánk stated most clearly, they won’t form a coalition?
No wonder, considering how cenzured they are.
But in the case Tisza and Fidesz won’t get a 50%, a minority government would form.
But because the Parliament chooses the government both sides would still need to lobby at Mi Hazánk to vote for them.
This means, Tisza either will be forced to abandon their foreign patrons and represent real Hungarian interests (meaning: confront Ukraine and the Commieshion), which is impossible for them, or Fidesz will give them promises on becoming more souvereigntists.
Either way, this is a mute point. Fidesz will need to move more against the EU/Ukraine regardless, and it’s impossible for Tisza to win.
Tisza will dissolve, because the promised nevereverland didn’t come, and Mi Hazánk will be the main opposition.
And in 2030 the election will be: Soft anti-Eu, or Hard anti-Eu.
“Peace!”
“No war!”
I wonder when our Politicians will tell “Hungarian Families!” their energy prices will be hiking due to the actions of BFF Mr. Trump? Should go down a treat.
‘But in the case Tisza and Fidesz won’t get a 50%, a minority government would form. But because the Parliament chooses the government both sides would still need to lobby at Mi Hazánk to vote for them.’
Yes, Márk, that is logical, but, as much as Mi Hazánk detests both Fidesz and Tisza, it is hard to see how that would actually happen.
Keep dreaming. Shoulds, coulds, and mights are all just speculation. Wait for the election, then we’ll see who won and whether coalitions are possible and will be formed. Nothing is as fleeting as a politician’s post-election promise.
This is typical of conspiracy theorists; they can’t tolerate uncertainty. Everything has to be explainable now and for the future, even if it’s actually impossible. That’s why these people often have completely incoherent ideas, because there has to be an explanation, and immediately, not a month later.
They need a mental framework, otherwise they would lose their footing, and they treat it as if it were reality. The great self-confidence they display is actually very weak. That’s why they develop a concept that helps them believe they can control their environment.
But life consists of a constant succession of uncertainties. When these people are dead, they will probably still try to convince the devil, if he exists, of their point of view.
But very few things in life can be predicted. Life is always uncertain. As the saying goes, “Predictions are difficult, especially about the future” (Mark Twain).
Orban is a scared bunny rabbit who has been afraid to debate anyone after one went poorly for him many years ago. When he makes speeches his audience is composed of hand picked people who have registered in advance to make sure they are supportive. He cannot face Peter Magyar in a debate because Magyar will go through all of the corruption Orban is completely neck deep in. Orban will face open accusation of criminality in a public forum. The audience will be able to compare the two candidates side by side and Orban will look absolutely bad.
‘What boosts Tisza’s win odds?’
Minus a severe medical problem for Viktor, nothing will change the election.
It’s too late.
‘This Népszava-ordered poll conducted by Publicus…’
This very same pollster, at this time in 2022, suggested that Orbán’s party only had 33% support, while the challenger’s party, Márki-Zay, had 31%
The final election result?
Orbán ………..49.27
Márki-Zay…. 33.66
This pollster was 18 points off.
That means you can safely disregard anything this pollster has to say about anything.
That are paid prevaricators.
Did you have these figures flown in from Russia? Is there anything you can do but lie? Here is the link to the polls so everyone can see what a lying loser you are!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_2022_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
Using Wikipedia as a source is just as bad as the rigged polls you like to wave around 😂
Na Mouton the cat ate your tongue?
Will we hear from you anymore? 😂😂😂
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz–KDNP alliance would secure victory if the parliamentary election were held this Sunday, according to recently published polling data by the US-based McLaughlin & Associates.
The results, analysed by Hungarian outlet Index, show Fidesz–KDNP leading with 43 per cent, while the main opposition party Tisza trails at 37 per cent. According to McLaughlin’s data, the socialist–progressive Democratic Coalition (DK) and the hard-right Our Homeland (Mi Hazánk) would be the only other parties to pass the 5 per cent parliamentary threshold.” Quote from Hungarianconservative
There’s so much talk here about polls from 2022 and claims being made that are, of course, intentionally unverifiable. Here are polls from 2022, conducted around the same time. Anyone can see for themselves whether the claims being made here are true. Fidesz is compared to the largest opposition party in each poll.
What strikes me is that Orbán seems to have manipulated the electoral system so that he achieves a constitutional majority with just 52.2% of the vote. A two-thirds majority is usually required. I’ve never seen anything like this in any other European country.
03. Apr 22 National Election 52.2 + 35.9 = 88,1
22–28 Mar 2022 IDEA 50 + 45 = 95
21–27 Mar 2022 Századvég 49 44 93
21–27 Mar 2022 Závecz Research 50 46 96
24–26 Mar 2022 Medián 50 40 90
23–25 Mar 2022 Nézőpont 49.0 43.8 92,8
23–25 Mar 2022 Závecz Research 48.8 46.4 95,2
21–25 Mar 2022 Publicus 48.2 45.9 94,1
22–24 Mar 2022 Real-PR 93 49 41 90
21–23 Mar 2022 Társadalomkutató 52 41 93
It’s also noticeable that everyone was quite close in the polls back then, unlike today. So something must have changed since 2022. I suspect the institutes close to Orbán are playing dirty.
If you add both figures together, Medián and Real-PR 9 are ahead in terms of the combined number of votes for both parties. Everyone overestimated the opposition party’s share of the vote.
Indeed you made your own point opposition polls were overestimated .. likely deliberately by the faux polling pro globalist pop ups .. which is a narrative you’re pushing and is oft seen in paid for Pro EU commentary … let’s see what actually happens rather than fantasy based on polling that is almost always incorrect and then you can return and apologise for your misinformation
