Support for radical nationalist party Jobbik fell by one third from September to November, which reflects its failure to become a “people’s party”, a poll by Nézőpont Institute prepared for weekly Heti Válasz has shown. The poll between November 14 and 19 shows that two-thirds of Hungarians are dissatisfied with the leftist parties, Nézőpont said. It is a bad sign for the opposition Socialists that 18 percent of all voters still consider Ferenc Gyurcsány, former prime minister and current head of the Democratic Coalition, the leader of the left, and only 5 percent named Socialist leader József Tóbiás as the leading figure, the institute added. Jobbik enjoyed the support of 17 percent of all voters in September but 12 percent in October and 11 percent in November. The ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrats remained the winners of the autumn period, with 34 percent support.
