Part 2/10:
Recent polling data indicates that support for Orban's Fidesz party is significantly waning. According to Politico’s poll aggregator, Fidesz has been overtaken by the opposition for just the second time in a decade. Following a strong performance in the 2022 national elections, where Fidesz secured 52.5% of the popular vote, recent polls show the party's support has plummeted to around 39%. Some late November surveys peg it even lower, estimating Fidesz's popularity at just 35%—a stark contrast from their historical performance, where they typically maintained levels above mid-30s.
