A recent MetroPOLL survey indicates a significant shift in Turkish public opinion, with Özgür Özel’s newly formed party now leading President Erdoğan’s AKP. The New Party garnered 30.3% support, while the AKP received 22.4%, marking a nearly 8-point lead. This survey presents a notable change in the political landscape, signaling potential challenges for the ruling AKP. The results, released Thursday, do not account for the distribution of undecided voters. This poll suggests growing support for Özel’s platform and a possible realignment of political allegiances in Turkey. The findings were first reported by Turkish Minute. This rise in popularity could significantly impact future electoral outcomes.
