A new Ipsos poll indicates a tight race for Slovakia’s parliamentary elections, potentially in the second half of June. Progressive Slovakia (PS) currently leads with 20.2% of projected voter support, narrowly ahead of the governing SMER party at 19%. However, the pollster notes that the difference between the two parties falls within the margin of error, suggesting a statistically insignificant lead for PS. The survey, conducted for Denník N, highlights challenges for the Hlas party due to difficulties retaining loyal voters. These findings suggest a potentially unstable political landscape and a closely contested election outcome. The poll does not account for potential shifts in voter preference between the data collection period and an actual election. Further polling will be needed to confirm these trends.
