FPÖ experiences slight loss, as Stocker catches up for the initial lead in the latest poll.
In a recent poll conducted by the Lazarsfeld Society for oe24, the political landscape of Austria appears to be shifting. The poll, which involved 2,000 respondents and had a maximum margin of error of 2.2%, was carried out from March 31 to April 8.
The coalition parties, the ÖVP and SPÖ, are both struggling to maintain their position, with each party securing 21% of the votes. This is a significant drop compared to their current positions in government, with the Greens and Social Democrats leading the coalition. The Greens remain steady at 8%, while the SPÖ, along with their turquoise coalition partner ÖVP, can tie in the polls.
Meanwhile, the Freedom Party, which is not currently part of the governing coalition, is reaping poll rewards. They are currently leading in hypothetical election polls, with 33%, a 1-point drop from last week.
The poll results also suggest a hint of an upward trend for Christian Stocker, the incumbent Chancellor. Despite losing a point, Herbert Kickl, the previous front-runner, now stands at 25% in the Chancellor question poll. However, Stocker sees a glimmer of hope, with 14% of respondents voting for him as Chancellor. This is an improvement on his best score so far.
Intriguingly, Christian Stocker sets himself apart from NEOS leader Beate Meinl-Reisinger and Andreas Babler (SPÖ) in the Chancellor question poll. The party that would support Stocker as Chancellor in a possible new election if the NEOS, the Greens, and the SPÖ do not, is the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP).
The poll results, published by oe24, indicate a slight upward trend for Christian Stocker in the Chancellor question, with the ÖVP and the new Chancellor potentially seeing poll rewards. The NEOS, on the other hand, are holding steady at 10% in the polls.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Austrians will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the polls in the coming weeks.
