- Electoral mood after the EP elections
- Hungary's first "double election" took place on the ninth of June 2024. Hungarian voters were able to vote in the European Parliament and the municipal elections at the same time.

More - After the low point in April, Fidesz-KDNP has slightly strengthened
- "After the amnesty case and Péter Magyar's burst into the scene, Fidesz-KDNP's support was at a low point not seen for years at the end of March. A couple of weeks later, they achieved an increase within the margin of error: among the total population, the government party's voter base increased by 2 percentage points (27%), and among party vote...
More - There is a significant decrease in Fidesz-KDNP popularity in February
- "The scandal of the pardon has damaged the popularity of Fidesz-KDNP even more than expected, more than 325,000 voters leaving Orbán's party in a month. The opposition, however, could not benefit from this crisis either, only Momentum gained minimally compared to the January survey" - Telex reported on the latest party preference survey by the R...
