The poll, conducted in January with the participation of 1,000 respondents, shows minor changes compared to one month before.

Fidesz continues to enjoy a comfortable lead over all other parties, although its growth has stalled, now standing at 33% among all voters. Jobbik has managed to halt its shrinking popularity, with its support growing by 1%, to 10%, while support for the Socialists (MSzP) remains for the third month running at 8% of all voters.

The Democratic Coalition (DK) remains on the 5% threshold of support for entering Parliament, but LMP has lost 1% compared to December, dipping to 4%, below the threshold.

All other parties stand at 1-2% in popularity among all voters. The number of those undecided or with no declared party preference remains at a sizeable 34%, as it has for several months.

Among committed voters, who constitute an estimated four out of ten voters, DK and LMP look better, at 8% and 7%, respectively, the same levels as in December. Both the Socialists and Jobbik have managed to grow their support, now standing at 13% and 16%, respectively. Fidesz, though still with an overwhelming lead, has lost 2% from December, and is now at 50%. All other parties are well below 5% among committed voters, the poll shows.
