Striking results have emerged from the poll conducted by Sonar Research in July with a total of 3,271 people across 26 provinces.
Citizens were asked the question, "If there were a general election today, which political party would you vote for?"
Before the distribution of undecided voters, the vote shares were as follows:
CHP 23.1 percent
AKP 18.9 percent
MHP 6.9 percent
DEM Party 6.7 percent
İYİ Party 3.7 percent
Zafer Party 3.5 percent
New Welfare Party (Yeniden Refah Partisi) 3.2 percent
others 0.8 percent.
Those who did not express an opinion were 33.2 percent
(Undecided vote 15.1 percent, would cast an invalid vote 3.1 percent, would not go to the polls 11.9 percent, no opinion 3.1 percent.)
SONAR's note regarding the results is as follows:
“Although the rate of those who did not express an opinion has decreased by 4 percentage points compared to June, it is still very high when based on the last 30 years. Results where the total of undecided voters and those who do not express an opinion falls below 27 percent will provide us with more reliable information.”
After proportional distribution of those who did not express an opinion, the parties' vote shares are as follows:
CHP 34.7 percent
AKP 28.3 percent
MHP 10.4 percent
DEM Party 10.1 percent
