INSCOP poll: PSD – 29.5%, PNL – 18.8%, AUR – 18.4%

PSD would get 29.5% of the votes, PNL – 18.8%, and AUR – 18.4%, if elections for the European Parliament were to take place on Sunday, reveals a poll conducted by INSCOP commissioned by News.ro. The percentages are related to the number of those who expressed their preference for a party from the list, regardless of whether they declare that they will come to vote or not, and are modified in the case of those who declare that they will go to vote alone and who have expressed a preference for a party from the list.

68.7% of the respondents say they will go to vote in the EP elections:

• 29,5% of Romanians would vote for PSD
• 18,8% – PNL
• 18,4% – AUR
• United Right Alliance (USR, PMP, Forța Dreptei) – 12,9%
• SOS, Diana Șoșoacă’s party – 6,5%
• UDMR – 4,8%
• 3,4% AER Alliance (Green Party and Romanian Environmentalist Party)
• 3% would vote for Pro România, and 0.5% for REPER. 2.2% would vote for another party.

“INSCOP Research measured for the first time the declared presence and voting intention for the European Parliament elections. In terms of attendance, a very high declared level can be observed, with 50.9% of Romanians saying that they will definitely go to vote, which represents a percentage almost similar to the record level of attendance officially registered in the 2019 European Parliament elections 51.7%. Regarding the voting intention, for maximum transparency, we chose to present both the ranking of the parties among the population that has a clear option, and the ranking of the parties among the population that has an option and declares at the same time that it will definitely go to vote, i.e. among the most mobilized voters. The data show a ranking of the PSD in first place, with a slightly lower score compared to the previous month’s measurement, which tested the intention to vote in the parliamentary elections. PNL ranks second, very close to AUR, ranked third, both parties in a slight decline. The poll tested for the first time the voting intention for the United Right Alliance formed by USR, PMP and Forţa Dreptei, which ranks 4th. SOS Romania passes the 5% threshold, registering a higher score in January compared to last month, when we measured the vote for the parliamentary elections. Practically, in the last 6 months, SOS Romania has doubled its voting intention. The sum of AUR and SOS Romania votes remains constant, even if the ratio of support for the two parties changes slightly. From the data on the evolution of the voting intention in the last two years, a relative stability over time of the voting intention can be observed compared to the situation in January 2022. PSD loses approximately 5 percent, PNL loses two percent, AUR gains two percent while the United Right Alliance registers the same score as USR in January 2022″, states the director of INSCOP Research, Remus Ştefureac.
