61 percent of active voters want Viktor Orbán as prime minister, while only 24 percent want Péter Márki-Zay, the Fundamental Rights Center told MTI on Monday, referring to the results of its latest public opinion poll.
The popularity of the reigning prime minister was already above 50 percent week after week, but the camp of sympathizers for his left-wing challenger is decreasing, they wrote.
According to the results of a nationally representative survey conducted between November 15 and December 8, with a telephone survey of a thousand people, the popularity of the prime minister, who has been in office since 2010, is unbroken: in November it was between 52-56 percent, and at the beginning of December, 61 percent of those who promised to participate in the election said that I would like to see him continue in government.

It was noted that the popularity of his "left-wing challenger" was much lower, and when the last data was taken, the circle of Péter Márki-Zay's supporters had significantly decreased: while in November 26-28 percent of those polled wanted Péter Márki-Zay to become Prime Minister of Hungary, in the first week of December only 24 percent of them.
"This may be due to the fact that the candidate for prime minister of the left has recently made a number of statements bordering on absurdity and surreality: he described utility reduction as stupidity, cast doubt on the meaning of the minimum wage, tried to present migration in a positive light, and more created a mood against the child protection referendum, so that more than half of the voters critical of the government agree with its objectives"
- they said in the statement.
