These are the results of a national survey conducted at the beginning of June by Gallup agency. All major political formations come out of the situation created in the country as losers, possibly with the exception of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, while the smaller rivals come out as winners. In this situation “the parties that are small grow big”, the sociologists conclude.
GERB remains top of the list in potential support at this time with 14.5% of the votes (compared to 22.1% in June). The Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, is second with 13.9% (17.9% in June). The new party of showman Slavi Trifonov “There are such people” marks an increase at 7.9% (5.3% in June). The Movement for Rights and Freedoms is keeping its traditional figures of close to 7%. Democratic Bulgaria earns the support of 5.7% (2.4% in June). Maya Manolova’s new formation “Stand up BG” has the support of 2.4% of the respondents (1.8% in June). Support for the United Patriots has shrunk to 2.3% (2.9% in June).
