Uncertainties in both the economy and foreign policy continue to sustain the public's demand for a strong state. Two out of every five individuals prefer a strong state over a stable economy and a humane society. Although the prospect of Erdoğan’s re-election is viewed negatively and the AK Party’s vote share is not increasing, Erdoğan is raising his personal support levels. Conversely, İmamoğlu appears to have lost the momentum he gained following his arrest. In a scenario where all potential candidates are competing, Erdoğan increased his vote share by 2 points this month, whereas İmamoğlu declined by 2 points. The rate of swing voters and non-voters stands at 30%, these voters constitute 86% of those who stated they would not choose any candidate in a scenario involving all potential contenders.
