Fidesz-led alliance maintains lead

The ruling alliance of Fidesz and the Christian Democrats has maintained its lead after last month's local election, with 52 percent of decided voters declaring their support, according to a poll by Nezopont published on Tuesday. Support for the liberal opposition Momentum Movement was 13 percent, while the leftist Democratic Coalition (DK) stood at 11 percent. The nationalist Jobbik party was backed by 9 percent. Meanwhile, 6 percent backed the Socialist-Parbeszed coalition -- below the 10 percent threshold needed to get into parliament on a joint party list -- and 3 percent supported the green LMP party. The non-parliamentary parties, the satirical Two-tailed Dog Party and radical nationalist Mi Hazank, chalked up 3 percent and 2 percent respectively, below the 5 percent threshold for seats.
