The leading party in the polls has changed: It has increased the gap to 2 points

Gündemar Research's September 2026 Turkey Agenda Survey has revealed striking changes in the political party rankings.

In the poll results, the New Party took the top spot with 30.64 percent, while the AKP fell to second place with 28.24 percent.

The research was conducted between September 22-30, 2026, with 2,400 participants in 60 provinces.

Gündemar Research President Prof. Dr. Tamer Bolat stated that there is a significant decline in the AKP's historical vote graph.

According to Bolat, the AKP's 28.24 percent level in the September 2026 measurement points to a major loss when compared to its past peaks.

The decline of the CHP to 3.63 percent in the poll and the change in opposition voter behavior were among the prominent headlines.

Bolat said that the New Party is receiving support not only from former CHP voters but also from center-right, conservative, and nationalist voters.

In the demographic breakdowns of the research, the change in the voter group aged 50 and over was particularly noteworthy.

According to the data, support in the over-50 voter group, where the AKP was strong in the past, has fallen to the 35-40 percent band.

In the research, party ratios were calculated after distributing undecided voters, those with no opinion, and those who stated they would protest the ballot box.

In the study, participants were asked the question, "If there were a parliamentary election this Sunday, which political party would you vote for?"

In the table, the İYİ Party was ranked at 7.77 percent, the DEM Party at 7.63 percent, the Zafer Party at 5.81 percent, and the MHP at 5.46 percent.

The poll's methodology used a combination of face-to-face and telephone interviews to measure voter trends across Turkey.

According to the results, while the New Party and the AKP are in the first two spots, other parties were ranked in single-digit percentages.

Data regarding age groups showed that the loss of votes, especially among retired and elderly voters, was one of the important topics of the research.
