“In relation to surveys conducted in early March and in January by the same institute, Fidesz's support remains broadly stable while Tisza has gained ground.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“The institute estimates that Tisza could have 900,000 more supporters than Fidesz nationwide.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“When translated into parliamentary seats, the 21 Research Institute calculated that if elections were held this Sunday, Tisza would secure a stable majority with 129 seats in the 199-seat National Assembly, while Fidesz would receive 64 seats and the far-right Our Homeland Movement six.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“A separate poll by the Medián institute, released one week ago, showed similar results. It showed Tisza leads 58% to 35% among likely voters with a party preference, and 46% to 30% across the wider population.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“Medián said Tisza's lead had widened since its previous survey, with the 23-point margin potentially sufficient to deliver a two-thirds parliamentary supermajority.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“Medián also projected that, if elections were held this Sunday, only two parties — Fidesz and Tisza — would clear the threshold to enter parliament.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
“Led by Péter Magyar, Tisza has maintained a lead over in polls Fidesz since the start of 2025, emerging as the most significant electoral challenger to Orbán's 16-year year rule.”
