Party polling

Graphical summary

The graph and the table show the support of the parties as a percentage of those voters, who have chosen a party. Those who did not reply or could or would not choose, are ignored.

Poll results

Poll results are listed in the tables below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If such date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. Other parties in bold pass the threshold (5% for one party, 10% for a joint list of two parties, and 15% for a joint list of three or more parties) to be represented in the National Assembly. Any party which was not polled is displayed with an en-dash (–).
