While Fidesz had 36 percent support among the electorate in August, it melted to 30 percent in December.

Fidesz’s support fell a hair again, from 31 to 30 percent, and the combined support of the six cooperating opposition parties stood at 34 percent last month, according to a poll conducted by Závecz Research between 1 and on December 8.

According to the poll, Fidesz is in 45 percent of the group of safe partisan voters, followed by DK with 19 percent. Momentum and Jobbik compete closely with this engaged circle of voters, at 10-10 percent. The MSZP would get 7 percent in the group of active voters, the Two-Tailed Dog Party would get 3 percent this time, Nuestro País, LMP and Diálogo 2-2 percent.

According to the pollster, Fidesz is going downhill,

in August, 36 percent of the supported electorate, now 30 percent, lost half a million voters.

The decline is particularly significant among graduates, where the proportion of Fidesz supporters has dropped from 46 percent to 27 percent. The party has also lost a lot since August in Budapest and the county seats: in the first group, the size of the polling station has decreased from 34% and in the second from 36% to 23%. According to the research, Fidesz’s position has weakened among young people under the age of 30, and now its support is now 22 percent instead of 33 previously.

If the Fidesz-KDNP list and the six opposition parties were presented to the electorate, both blocs could win new voters, the analysis writes. In this case, support for the list of ruling parties would be 37 percent, thus activating 7 percent of the insecure (about 550,000 voters).

According to the research, supporters of the six opposition parties are increasingly accepting cooperation, and now nine-tenths of Jobbik voters, who previously fueled resentment, would vote for the common list. It is written that those who reject the single list will reduce the combined support from 34 percent to just 33 percent, while the opposition unit would move 8 percentage points (approximately 650,000 voters) from the insecure and some smaller parties.

Last month, the percentage of support for the opposition of six parties and the Fidesz-KDNP lists was 37 to 34, compared to 41 to 37 in December. The communication affirms that the competition for who encourages a significant proportion of precarious voters to make a decision, and that the alternative of “government or opposition” is also relevant for them.

As supporters of the opposition common list and Fidesz-KDNP are equally active this month, opposition results are also higher among safe voters: 52 percent to 48 percent.

The survey was abandoned in the days of the Szájer case, according to Závecz Research, the effects of the scandal are barely perceptible, and the experience of the last decades shows that unpleasant cases that affect politicians take weeks and can affect the general public.

Virtually everyone has heard of the József Szájer case in the last week and it is a serious scandal, according to most, according to a survey conducted by Median for HVG. Several Fidesz people think that the case has hurt the ruling party and the vast majority of right-wing voters also agree that it is a private matter if a politician is gay.

In the worst case scenario, Politico’s verdict came, according to which Viktor Orbán is the fourth most important player on the continent, says a diplomat, because he made his opponents more determined. This may be attributed to the fall of József Szájer, but it will also affect Orbán’s struggles.
