US EditionHungary's opposition Tisza party widens its lead ahead of Orban's Fidesz
Tisza party support rose to 55% among decided voters, widening its lead to 20 points over Fidesz despite government economic measures, Median poll shows.
- On Wednesday, Median's poll showed Hungary's centre-right Tisza party widened its lead over Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz ahead of the April 12 election.
- Peter Magyar's new party, launched in 2024, has gained supporters as Fidesz lost ground despite voter-pleasing government measures after three years of stagnation.
- Poll data from February 18 and 23 show Tisza at 42% and Fidesz at 31% of the full population, with Median finding a 20-point lead among decided voters and a strong track record.
- Orban told supporters last week that Fidesz could win in 65-70 of Hungary's 106 individual constituencies, while only Our Homeland at 6% appears likely to enter the 199-member parliament.
- Fidesz cites surveys showing it ahead, but opponents say these are linked to the ruling party, while Median's accurate forecast history supports its credibility, potentially affecting Hungary's political future.
