Political Preferences

SUMMARY

The section includes which party the participants would prefer to vote for if there was an election today, who they want to govern Türkiye, a possible presidential election scenario between Erdoğan and İmamoğlu, and analysis and evaluations of the report card grades of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and CHP Chairman Özgür Özel:

• Which party would you vote for if there was an election today? (direct preference and undecideds distributed)
• Who should govern Türkiye?
• If the presidential election was held this Sunday and ONLY these two people were candidates, who would you vote for? (Ekrem İmamoğlu and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan)
• If you were giving a report card grade, what grade would you give to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in terms of how he performed his duties as President in general?
• If you were giving a report card grade, what grade would you give to Özgür Özel in terms of how he performed his duties as Chairman in general?
• If Recep Tayyip Erdoğan WON the upcoming presidential election; do you think it would be positive or negative for Turkey?

As İmamoğlu consolidates his strength against Erdoğan this month, the rate of undecided voters continues to decline in a manner rarely seen outside of election periods. The decrease in undecided and non-voting populations primarily impacts AK Party and CHP votes; the gap between them is trending toward closure, standing now at just 1 point. Although a vast majority of society holds negative expectations regarding Erdoğan's re-election, Erdoğan remains the most preferred leader in a scenario where all potential candidates compete. However, the leader with the highest momentum in this scenario is Ekrem İmamoğlu.
