Ipsos Sees 900,000 Floating Voters In Hungary
As many as 900,000 voters could change their minds before the April 6 parliamentary elections, Szonda Ipsos research director Tibor Závecz told a function hosted by the Hungarian Journalists Federation on Thursday.

He surmised that the 900,000 voters could vote for LMP and Jobbik at the expense of the larger forces, helping LMP to win seats in Parliament and Jobbik to improve on its result of 2010.

Fidesz voters are the most dedicated, as 66% of the party’s 2.6 million supporters said they will definitely turn out on April 6.

However, Závecz said, 250,000 Fidesz supporters might vote for Jobbik, 75,000 might choose LMP and 25,000 could vote for either.

Jobbik has 900,000 supporters, 62% of whom are sure to vote, but 105,000 are leaning toward Fidesz and 45,000 toward the left-wing alliance.

Some 60% of the 1.8 million supporters of the left-wing alliance are sure to turn out, but 270,000 could vote for LMP and 30,000 for Jobbik.
