According to a recent survey, some of the Two-Tailed Dog Party voters returned to their own party from the united opposition.
The IDEA Institute writes that the voters of the Hungarian Kétfarkú Kutya Party were asked the same question during public opinion polls between January 4 and January 14, 2022: "In the fall of 2021, as a result of the second round of the primary election, Péter Márki-Zay became the prime minister candidate of the opposition. Would you vote for the opposition's joint candidates and list?"
In the light of a three-month survey, the proportion of those who want to support the opposition, both on the list and individually, since Péter Márki-Zay is the candidate for prime minister, seems to be decreasing. The decrease compared to the end of October is 8 percentage points, which, in the institute's opinion, already indicates a significant shift.
According to the IDEA Institute, the behavior of MKKP's supporters is difficult to "model" in advance with regard to the campaign period. As they write, they are anti-Orbánist and anti-establishment voters, whose political identity is determined by both aspects. In the light of additional data, however, it can be concluded that the Kutya Party voters want a change of government, although a significant part of them maintains an equal distance from both Fidesz and the opposition, they add.
In its analysis, the IDEA Institute published the trend of three consecutive months of results. According to their research, the non-parliamentary Hungarian Kétfarkú Kutya Párt would receive a stable 3 percent in an election due this Sunday.
