Politicians’ popularity continues to drop in November

Hungary’s president and the head of the main opposition remained the most popular politicians in a November poll, which, however, gave low ratings overall to all players, daily Nepszabadsag said on Monday, quoting a Szonda Ipsos poll.

President Laszlo Solyom remained at the top of the list scoring 47 out of 100, followed by opposition leader Viktor Orban with 46 points, the poll Szonda conducted asking 1,500 respondents on November 2-9 showed.

Senior Socialist politician Katalin Szili showed third with 37 points and was the most popular politician of her party.

Leader of the non-parliamentary radical national Jobbik party, Gabor Vona remained eighth on the list with 29 points.

Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai came in twelfth with 27 points and was the only politician to improve his rating slightly, by one point, from the previous month.

Since the beginning of the year Hungarian politicians have lost 7 points in their average popularity, the poll said.
