Survey finds majority supporting Orbán as PM

By

Hungary’s main opposition Fidesz party leader Viktor Orban was seen as most voters’ choice for prime minister, well ahead of the Socialist party’s likely candidate Attila Mesterhazy, by a poll from research firm Nezopont Institute revealed on Wednesday.

The poll, which is to be published in Thursday’s Heti Valasz, showed that 38 percent of respondents would support Orban, 16 percent MEP Lajos Bokros of the conservative opposition Democratic Forum, 6 percent MEP Krisztina Morvai of the radical nationalist Jobbik and 5 percent Mesterhazy.

The poll showed that Fidesz enjoyed 39 percent support from all voters, the Socialists 10 percent, and Jobbik 9 percent.

Seventy three percent of respondents said that Gordon Bajnai’s government had failed to reduce corruption while 17 percent said that it managed to reduce it.
