Hungarian Polls: Magyar at 51%, Orbán's Party Declines
The opposition Tisza party has widened its lead over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party, according to two polls ahead of Hungary's April parliamentary elections.
PĂ©ter Magyar, leader of Tisza, appears to be gaining ground, with polls showing his party securing the support of 51% of voters.
Support for Fidesz has fallen to 39%, despite the party's efforts to attract new voters through fiscal benefits and exploiting fears about the war in Ukraine.
A second poll showed that 48% of voters who have decided who to vote for would support Tisza, securing a 10% lead over Fidesz.
Orbán, who has been in power for 16 years, is seeking a fifth term.
