The ruling party will be disappointed again in the final November poll: The gap is widening

THEMİS Research has announced the results of its comprehensive public opinion poll conducted between November 18 and 27. 

The research was carried out in 15 provinces using the CATI method, and participants were asked questions regarding their voting preferences, political identity, the country's most significant problems, and trust in the legal system.

CHP AHEAD, AKP BEHIND

One of the most striking findings of the research came from the responses to the question, 'If there were a general election today, which party would you vote for?' 

It was stated that after the distribution of undecided votes, the CHP rose to the position of the leading party, surpassing the AKP by a margin of 6.5 percentage points.

According to the research, the AKP, DEM Party, Zafer Party, and İYİ Party followed the CHP in that order. The MHP fell to sixth place with a vote share of 4.7 percent.

ATATÜRKIST TENDENCY STANDS OUT

Participants were asked, 'How do you define yourself in terms of political tendency?' In the responses to this question, the proportion of those who defined themselves as Atatürkist was recorded at 25.9 percent. While other political tendencies were also represented in the research, Atatürkism once again stood out.

In the responses to the question 'What is the country's most important problem?' posed to the participants, the cost of living and high prices ranked first. Issues regarding the judiciary, law, and justice were the third most concerning agenda item for the participants.

Another striking finding of the poll concerned trust in the legal system. To the question, 'Are fair decisions made in the country's legal system?', 59.6 percent of participants answered, 'There are no fair decisions at all.' This rate revealed that trust in the country's legal system is quite low.

THEMİS Research announced the margin of error for its study as ±2.2. Additionally, the occupational distribution of the participants was shared with the public. The research included the opinions of voters from various age and occupational groups across different provinces of Turkey.
