Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his ruling centre-right Fidesz-Christian-Democratic alliance maintained overwhelming support in July, according to a poll by Nezopont Institute.
Sixty-four percent of respondents rated Orban positively while 54 percent were satisfied with the government’s performance.
This is a significant increase to last month when only 46 percent were satisfied with the government.
Support for the Fidesz-KDNP has remained high, with 62 percent of active voters saying they would vote for the party alliance if the elections were held this Sunday.
Fully 10 percent of decided voters backed radical nationalist party Jobbik, 7 percent supported the Socialists and 4 percent favoured green party Politics Can Be Different.
The Socialists were the most “rejected” party, with 41 percent of people indicating that they would definitely not vote for them. A quarter of voters said they would not under no circumstances back Jobbik and 9 percent each said they would not vote for Fidesz or the green party.
Only a tenth of Fidesz supporters and a tenth of Socialist supporters said they would never vote for the green party.
“This may be because the new party has not yet decided whom to consider its greatest ememy,” Nezopont said.
The phone poll commissioned by Heti Valasz weekly interviewed 1,000 voters between July 19 and 22.
