Hungarian voters are primarily concerned with economy, cost of living, and corruption, issues that have overshadowed Fidesz’s campaign focusing on a supposed threat from Ukraine. Poll data suggests the opposition Tisza party could achieve a parliamentary majority, potentially allowing it to amend the constitution and unlock EU funds. Median poll analysis indicates Tisza is leading in support among younger voters and those with higher education, while Fidesz maintains stronger support among older demographics and those with lower levels of schooling. Despite predictions of a potential two-thirds victory for Tisza or a very close result, analysts note that the mixed electoral system makes precise forecasting difficult. Voters supporting Tisza cite the need for change, hope for transformation, and eliminating corruption, whereas Fidesz supporters emphasize leading the country correctly, peace orientation, and economic stability. Economic difficulties are highlighted as significant concerns, with experts suggesting Orbán’s government is struggling despite social incentives. Fidesz’s campaign theme of a Ukrainian threat is dismissed by commentators as a Kremlin-style tactic that fails to resonate with voters focused on internal issues.
