The main opposition party, Tisza, has a 15 -point lead over Fidesz, the prime minister, among those who have decided who will support. In this way, the difference between them is broadening in view of the following year’s elections, according to a media poll.
The center -right Tisza party, led by Peter Mayar, sets the biggest political challenge for her.
Orban government’s problems
At the same time, the government has to deal with a host of financial difficulties.
Hungary’s gross domestic product remained unchanged in the first quarter compared to a year earlier. At the same time, inflation is among the highest in the European Union. The threat of high US duties in European imports is in the prospect of Hungary recovery.
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.
What do Hungarians expect from Tisza
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 and the next moves of Orban
Tisza, named after the second largest river in Hungary and was founded by Mayar, a former state official, in February 2024. The party is preceded by the Orban Party in most polls for months.
Orban, who is trying to attract unhappy voters, included significant tax cuts for families in the budget of 2026 – one election year – adopted by parliament yesterday.
The parliamentary elections are expected to take place early next year, although no specific date has been set.
