The Bulgarian Socialist Party would win 21.9%, followed by “There are such people” of showman Slavi Trifonov with 10.2% of the votes, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms – with 7.2%, Democratic Bulgaria - with 6.1%, and Maya Manolova’s Izpravi Se.BG (Stand Up.BG) - with 4.9% of the votes.

49.6% of the respondents say they will go to the polls, which is 10% down compared to September 2020. 28% are hesitant, and 22% say they will not vote.
