Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban Faces Major Setback as Opposition Party Gains Significant Support Ahead of 2026 Elections

On November 28, 2024, a recent opinion poll revealed a significant shift in Hungarian politics as Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling party, Fidesz, has seen its support decline. The poll, conducted by Median and reported by HVG news website, indicates that the upstart Tisza Party, led by Peter Magyar, has garnered 47% of decided voters. In contrast, Fidesz's support has fallen to 36%.

This marks the first instance of Tisza achieving a double-digit lead over Fidesz, suggesting a potential shift in the political landscape ahead of the elections scheduled for 2026. If these trends continue, Tisza Party could secure a majority of seats in the Hungarian parliament, effectively unseating Orban's long-standing party.
