Opinion polling for the next Romanian parliamentary election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In preparation for the next Romanian parliamentary election, which will take place no later than March 2025 (and most likely during late 2024), various polling companies and organisations from Romania have already (more specifically since December 2020 onwards) been carrying out a series of opinion polling to gauge and keep track of the voting intention among the overall electorate. The results of all these opinion polls are showcased in the yearly tables below in this Wikipedia article. The date range is between shortly after the previous parliamentary election, held on 6 December 2020, to early January 2024.

  2. ^ Subsequently, several deputies decided to leave the PNL and follow former PNL president and former Prime Minister Ludovic Orban in his new political project, Force of the Right (or FD for short), shortly after PNL decided to form a new cabinet with PSD; therefore at one point in time during this legislature of the Romanian parliament, PNL had 81 deputies whereas FD had 16. Currently, PNL has even fewer deputies, namely 79 (more specifically as of late October 2023).
  3. ^ At that time, more specifically in late 2020, 13 deputies previously seating with FD as of late 2021 were part of the PNL parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies. Currently, there are 16 deputies seating with FD, 3 more than initially, through party switching from AUR.
