Six out of ten voters, or 58 percent, think that Viktor Orbán keeps what he promises, and only less than a third, 31 percent, think that this is not true of the prime minister, according to the latest research of the Viewpoint Institute, which compared the current prime minister with his left-wing challenger based on three characteristics. Péter Márki-Zay has a significantly worse reputation:
only every fifth voter, 19 percent, believes that the left-wing prime minister's candidate keeps his word, while 35 percent believe that he is not reliable when it comes to promises. 46 percent, or almost half of the respondents, could not judge the credibility of Péter Márki-Zay, while 93 percent of Fidesz voters believe that Viktor Orbán keeps his word.
Research by the Nézőpont Institute reveals that two-thirds of politically active people, i.e. 67 percent, think Viktor Orbán is a good leader, and only one in four active voters think he is not. On the other hand, almost half of the active Hungarians, 44 percent, consider Péter Márki-Zay to be a bad leader, and only a quarter, i.e. 23 percent, think he is a good leader, and 33 percent are unsure about the issue. According to the institute, it is less surprising that 96 percent of Fidesz voters consider Viktor Orbán to be a good leader, but it is more thought-provoking that more than a third of left-wing voters, exactly 36 percent, felt the same way. Only 45 percent of left-wing voters think that the opposition prime minister candidate is a good leader (14 percent think he is not), and another 42 percent indicated that they could not judge this.

The relative majority of voters, 48 percent, believe that the current prime minister is a decent person, while 37 percent think that this is not true of him. Péter Márki-Zay is considered fair by fewer people, a third of active voters, i.e. 34 percent, but 35 percent consider him unfair, and a similar proportion of those who are unsure (32 percent).
Based on the results, it can be said that the politically active Hungarians have a more positive opinion of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in every single attribute than of the common candidate of the left. In the case of Péter Márki-Zay, the large number of uncertain answers indicates the low profile of the politician and the uncertainty of his potential supporters.
