Among decided voters, the support of Fidesz-KDNP stands at 52%.

The second strongest party at the moment is liberal-centrist Momentum Movement according to the poll, with 13% of decided voters standing behind them.

The only other party with a double-digit support is former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsányʼs DK (Democratic Coalition), enjoying the backing of 11% of decided voters.

Right-wing opposition party Jobbik, currently looking for a party president, managed to grow its support by one percentage point, now standing at 9%.

The support of MSZP-P (a party alliance between the Socialist Party and Dialogue for Hungary) keeps stagnating at 6%, well below the 10% threshold needed for party alliances to enter the Parliament.

MKKP (Hungarian Two-tailed Dog Party), which was founded as a joke, stands at 3%, similarly to green party LMP (Politics Can Be Different). The support of far-right party Mi Hazánk Mozgalom (Our Home Movement) is measured at 2%.
