BUDAPEST, April 9 (Reuters) – Hungary’s centre-right Tisza party leads Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ruling Fidesz ahead of a parliamentary election scheduled for Sunday, a poll showed on Thursday.
Nationalist Orban faces the biggest challenge to his rule in 16 years, although the large number of undecided voters means the outcome of the election is uncertain.
Tisza, led by former government insider Peter Magyar, had the support of 50% of decided voters, while 37% backed Fidesz, the poll by Idea Institute showed.
The survey, which had a sample size of 1,500, showed 39% support for Tisza among all voters, with Fidesz backed by 30%. Some 21% of respondents said they had not decided how they would vote.
