Hungary’s main opposition party Tisza has a 15 -point lead over Prime Minister Victor Orban’s Fidesz among those who have decided who they will support, expanding the difference between them in the following year’s elections, according to today’s media poll.
The center -right Tisza party, led by Peter Mayar, sets the biggest political challenge for the 15 -year sovereignty of the nationalist Orban while his government is also facing financial difficulties.
Hungary’s gross domestic product remained unchanged in the first quarter compared to a year earlier while inflation is among the highest in the European Union. The threat of high US duties to European imports also lies in the prospects of recovery of Hungary.
The Mayar party, created just last year, has the support of 51% of voters who say they have decided who they will support, while 36% of respondents said they would vote for Fidesz, according to a poll published by the local weekly HVG form.
Particularly popular among the younger
The poll showed that Tisza is particularly popular among the younger ones, garnering 58% among respondents under 40, while the majority in the age group over 50 supports Fidesz.
Most respondents responded that they are expecting Tisza to win the next election.
“This is worth mentioning because, in the two previous decades, public opinion polls that preceded the election almost consistently provided Fidesz’s victory, thus reliably anticipating the end result,” according to Median researchers.
Representatives of the government and the Fidesz party were not readily available for comments.
Tisza, named after the second largest river in Hungary and was founded by Mayar, a former state official, in February 2024, is preceded by Orban’s party in most polls for months.
Orban, who is trying to attract unhappy voters, included significant tax cuts for families in the 2026-election year’s budget-which was approved yesterday by parliament.
The parliamentary elections are expected to take place early next year, although no specific date has been set.
