In the event of early elections, nearly one-third of Bulgarian voters would support the GERB–SDS coalition – 27.4%. The Movement for Rights and Freedoms-New Beginning is in second place with 17.5% support. The study is part of the independent research program of Gallup International Balkan. It was conducted between September 29 and October 12 and financed with own funds.

The third position is contested by We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP–DB) with 13.9% and Vazrazhdane with 13.4%. The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is in fifth place with 7.6%, followed by There is Such a People (5.8%), MECH (5.7%) and Velichie (4.3%).

The Alliance for Rights and Freedoms (APS), affiliated with Ahmed Dogan, would remain below the 4% electoral threshold with 1.2% support. According to the sociologists from Gallup, the data from the first half of October confirms trust in the governing majority as well as its stability. There are no significant shifts in trust in senior government officials and party leaders.
