Nothing works! Erdoğan loses in every scenario

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has closed the doors to calls for early elections, continues to fail to achieve the desired results in polls regarding the election agenda.

The latest research conducted by GÜNDEM-AR between February 23-26, 2026, showed that Erdoğan loses the election in all scenarios tested against Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mansur Yavaş, and Özgür Özel.

ERDOĞAN LOSES AGAINST ALL THREE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES

The research stated that there were three important rivals presented in different scenarios against President Erdoğan.

These names were listed as the imprisoned Ekrem İmamoğlu, Mansur Yavaş, and Özgür Özel.

The results revealed that Erdoğan loses the election against all three candidates. While İmamoğlu received 55.07 percent of the vote against Erdoğan, Erdoğan was able to receive 44.9 percent from the participants.

Another striking result of the survey was that Mansur Yavaş achieved the largest margin against President Erdoğan with 13.4 percent. Yavaş stood out with a high vote share against Erdoğan.
