Tarlos holds 5-point lead over Karacsony in latest poll

Incumbent Budapest Mayor Istvan Tarlos continues to be the favourite to win Sunday's mayoral election, though voter mobilisation will be key, according to a projection released by the Szazadveg Foundation on Friday. In the foundation's latest poll, Tarlos enjoys the backing of 49 percent of voters, while Gergely Karacsony, the opposition's joint mayoral candidate, is supported by 44 percent. Independent candidate Robert Puzser is backed by 6 percent, while Krisztian Berki, another independent, by 1 percent.
