Political Preferences

SUMMARY

The section includes which party respondents would prefer to vote for if elections were held today, who they want to govern Turkey, their expectations for early elections and President Erdoğan's report card:

• Which party would you vote for if an election were held today? (direct preference and swing voters distributed)
• Who should govern Turkey? (2021-2025)
• What is your report card grade for Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's fulfillment of his presidential mandate?
• Do you think there will be early elections this year?
• Do you think there will be a referendum on constitutional amendments this year?

It is seen that the hectic atmosphere of political life has not found a response among voters, has not produced vote fluidity, and continues to keep voters predominantly in the 'gray area.' The vote shares of political parties are following the pattern of the last year. In the scenario where all potential candidates are competing, the group with the highest rate consists of those who prefer 'no candidate,' while Erdoğan remains the most popular leader, with Yavaş and İmamoğlu following immediately behind. It is also observed that İmamoğlu has caught up with Yavaş. While Erdoğan's economic performance score has regressed significantly, foreign policy is slightly boosting his popularity.
