- 29 Oct 2015 8:00 AM
In October, 43% of respondents supported Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a poll taken by Nézőpont, up from 28% in April. Nézőpont said that increased support for the prime minister was rooted in a “stable national consensus” over the migration crisis as well as a lack of challengers for him among leaders of other political parties.
As for the other parties, 7% of respondents in the October poll said they would vote for radical nationalist Jobbik leader Gábor Vona to be prime minister, down from 13% in April.
Leftist Democratic Coalition head Ferenc Gyurcsány was also preferred by 7% in October, down from 10% in April.
In the October poll, 3% of the sample considered Dialogue for Hungary leader Gergely Karácsony as a desirable candidate for prime minister, while Socialist leader József Tóbiás, Együtt’s Viktor Szigetvári and LMP’s András Schiffer were supported by one percent each.
Thirty-five percent of the respondents had no answer to the question who they would want to see as prime minister.
Nézőpont conducted its poll between October 17 and 21, on a representative sample of 1,000 adults.
