WHICH PARTY WOULD TAKE THE LEAD IF AN ELECTION WERE HELD THIS SUNDAY?

Regarding the question of which party you would vote for if a general election were held this Sunday, it is observed that although the rate of those responding with CHP experienced a sudden drop after the election, it increased slightly until the local elections in March following Özgür Özel's leadership in November 2023. After the local elections, there was a radical increase in the CHP's vote share.

CHP: 23.7 percent

The votes for the CHP, which experienced a significant drop in its vote share last month, rose again this month.

AKP: 20.8 percent

According to the survey, the AK Party had seen an upward trend in its vote share until the presidential election period, excluding the drop experienced during the February 6 earthquakes.

After the election period, a serious decline in vote shares prevailed during the summer months. August 2023 was the month in which the AK Party had its lowest rate in polls since December 2020.

The AK Party, which has experienced ups and downs from that date to the present, had fallen to second place in April with the rise of the CHP. The AK Party's vote share has been at a similar level since December.

DEM Party: 7.8 percent

According to the survey, the DEM Party, which saw over 10 percent in October 2021, maintains its vote share with small changes between 7 and 10 percent. The vote share of the DEM Party, which had been rising since August, has been falling since December.

MHP: 6.3 percent

After the May 2023 presidential elections, the MHP reached its highest vote share of the last three years in June 2023. The MHP, which had a downward trend in the summer months of 2023, shifted from a rise to a downward trend in November 2023.

In April 2023, it reached its lowest vote share of the last year. The MHP, which experienced a partial drop in its vote share in June, had entered an upward trend after June. The MHP, which experienced a significant drop in its vote share last month, regained a significant portion of the votes it lost this month.

Zafer Party: 5.2 percent

İYİ Party: 2.5 percent

The İYİ Party, which reached its highest vote share of the last three years in November 2021, has experienced sharp drops from time to time since that date.
