According to the polls registered in mid-March, 30% of all voters supported MSzP and 28% supported Fidesz. Among those who plan to cast their votes and are certain about which party to choose, MSzP enjoyed 46% backing and Fidesz 43% in mid-March.
As many as 86% of the people interviewed said they expected a close competition, but 42% projected MSzP’s victory and only 29% expected Fidesz to come out as winner, the poll found. According to Szonda Ipsos, a relative majority of people want the current government to remain in office.
A total of 61% of respondents said they would cast their votes in the first round of the elections on April 9, which is below the 69% who turned up at the polls four years ago.
