Combined poll shows Fidesz-Christian Democrats with strong lead

Budapest, February 15 (MTI) – The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrats (KDNP) are way ahead of their opposition rivals, according to a poll of polls by kozvelemenykutatok.hu.

The site operated by the Nezopont Institute combined Median, Nézőpont, Századvég Foundation, Tárki, Publicus Institute and Závecz Research polls for the daily Magyar Idők.

If a general election were held now, the ruling alliance would improve on their performance on April 6, 2014 by 6 percentage points while the left-wing opposition is stuck at the same level as three years ago. Jobbik has weakened by 4 percentage points since that point.

Among all voters, Fidesz-KDNP is backed by 31 percent. Medián, Nezőpont, Századvég and Tárki showed the ruling parties with well above 30 percent support while Závecz measured only 26 percent and Publicus 25 percent.

Jobbik, once the opposition leading force, is now almost level pegging with the Socialists, with 11 percent and 10 percent support, respectively, according to the poll of polls.

The various pollsters showed differing outcomes, however. Publicus said the Socialists were stronger than Jobbik while Zavecz and Századvég Foundation found they were tied. The others maintained that Jobbik was stronger, according to the article published on Thursday.
