January 2026 survey - QUESTIONS

1. Let's start with a few current questions. By now, both Fidesz and Tisza have announced their candidates for this year's parliamentary elections. Do you know who the Fidesz candidate is in your constituency?
2. And do you know who the Tisza party candidate is?
3. And in your opinion, are the Fidesz or Tisza politicians better known in your area?
4. The next question is: what would you do in a situation where you were traveling alone in a train compartment, and a well-known politician enters looking for a seat. Who would you prefer to travel with, Viktor Orbán or Péter Magyar?
5. If I offered you a bet with 10,000 forints, how much would you wager that you will go vote in the spring parliamentary elections?
6. And who would you bet on otherwise - which party will win?
7. Regardless of the election outcome, do you think the losing side will accept their defeat?
8. Which party do you see a greater danger of not accepting its electoral defeat?
9. And can you imagine the outcome of this year's election turning into violence?
10. Now I'm curious whether you would support stricter conditions for voting rights?
11. (If they would support:) What conditions?
12. My next question is: would you like Viktor Orbán to continue leading the country for another four years?
13. And in your opinion, would it be in Hungary's interest to remain in the EU, or would it be better to withdraw from it?
14. Now I'd like to ask you to think of one of your neighbors. I'd like to ask you about them. What do you think - which party would this neighbor vote for if parliamentary elections were held next Sunday?
15. And now I'd also like to hear your opinion. If parliamentary elections were held next Sunday, would you go vote? Would you definitely go, probably go, probably not go, or definitely not go?
16. If parliamentary elections were held next Sunday, which party would you vote for?
17. (If they didn't reveal:) May I ask why? Do you prefer not to discuss your plans, or haven't you decided yet?
18. I'd also like to ask: in the last parliamentary elections in 2022, which party did you vote for?
19. This conversation you just participated in was conducted by an artificial intelligence assistant. How did it feel?
