Smer-SD supported by 24.8 pc in November

Had a general election taken place in November, it would have been won by the governing Smer-SD party with 24.8 percent of the votes, TASR learnt from Kamila Hrichova of AKO agency, which carried out a poll on a sample of 1,000 respondents between November 14-18. Next came Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) on 17.8 percent, followed by OLaNO-NOVA on 12.5 percent. The We Are Family party came fourth on 9.2 percent, followed by the Slovak National Party (SNS) on 8.9 percent and the far-right People's Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) on 8.4 percent. Two more parties - the Christian Democrats (KDH) and Most-Hid - would also have made it into the House - on 7 and 5.8 percent, respectively. The ethnic-Hungarian SMK party (4.3 percent) would have failed to clear the 5-percent threshold needed to win representation in parliament.
