Seven out of ten active voters, i.e. 68 percent, believe that Fidesz-KDNP will win the elections, according to the latest research of the Nézőpont Institute. The institute points out that the same number of people believe that the government would win in an election to be held this Sunday, as in December 2021. (The December and January values of the research conducted by the Nézőpont Institute show a two percent shift within the margin of error.) Péter Márki-Zay's campaign so far has apparently not brought new momentum, less than half of the opposition voters, 42 percent, trust in the change of government.
All this shows that, less than 75 days before the elections, the left-wing alliance still could not organize its ranks. The continuous postponement of the finalization of the joint list, the delay in agreeing on campaign issues, the lack of messages offering an alternative and the poor campaign performance of Péter Márki-Zay all contributed to the fact that the past month did not bring a favorable political turn for the anti-government forces, they pointed out. .

According to a survey conducted by the Nézőpont Institute in January, when asked "which political party will win the next parliamentary election", far more than the national support of Fidesz, seven out of ten active voters, i.e. 68 percent, answered "the current government party" and only fewer as a fifth, according to the "current opposition" side. Among the government party voters, there is almost complete confidence in the issue, about nine out of ten (88 percent) trust in the re-election of Fidesz, and only a fraction of the government party voters are uncertain (11 percent) or pessimistic (one percent) about the issue. On the other hand, it is a devastating result for the left-wing forces that their voters are completely divided: only four out of ten, 42 percent, are confident in their victory, while almost as many, 36 percent, expect a revival of the governing parties. Every fifth (22 percent) active voter critical of the government could not answer the question, which can be explained by the uncertainty that has not gone away since December.
