Romania’s governing coalition at 49% voting intention in parliamentary elections, new survey shows
<p>According to a recent survey, Romania’s ruling coalition, made up of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the National Liberal Party (PNL), is polling at almost 49% in voting intentions for the general elections. </p>
<p>Almost 30% of those surveyed in a poll conducted by INSCOP at the request of <a href="https://www.news.ro/politic-intern/sondaj-inscop-la-comanda-news-ro-intentia-de-vot-la-alegerile-parlamentare-psd-29-4-pnl-18-9-aur-14-7-64-2-dintre-ce-chestionati-declara-ca-in-mod-sigur-vor-merge-la-vot-1922403002002024070721651040">News.ro</a> stated that they would vote for PSD in the parliamentary elections, and 18.9% expressed support for PNL. </p>
<p>The cumulated score for the ruling coalition between PSD and PNL is in line with the percentage of votes obtained at the recent European elections, namely 48.5%. Nevertheless, the two parties have been at odds lately over the organization and the date of the presidential elections, with leaders of both parties set up to run for president.</p>
<p>Far-right party AUR would get 14.7% of votes in the parliamentary elections, center-right party USR 12.2%, while the SOS Romania Party, led by far-right politician Diana Șoșoacă, would obtain over 6%, surpassing the 5% electoral threshold required to enter the Parliament.</p>
<p>The data was collected between June 19 and 27, 2024, using the CATI method (telephone interviews), with a simple, stratified sample volume of 1100 people, representative of significant socio-demographic categories (sex, age, occupation) for the non-institutionalized adult population of Romania.</p>
