Had a parliamentary election been held in October, it would have been won by the opposition Voice-Social Democracy party led by former Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini with 18.7% of votes, indicates a poll conducted by the Focus agency. The largest governing Ordinary People party would have ended up in second place with 15.1%, thus confirming a poll by the AKO agency from last week, which was the first since the general election to show the party in the second spot, having lost approximately 10 percentage points compared to the ballot in February this year. Another governing party, Freedom and Solidarity, came third (10.7%) followed by the opposition Smer (10.5%), the opposition far right People's Party Our Slovakia (9.8%), and the governing We Are Family (7.3%). Two non-parliamentary parties would make the house - Progressive Slovakia (5.4%) and Christian Democrats (5.2%).
Junior governing For the People (4.8%) would be the first left out of house followed by non parliamentary ethnic-Hungarian Coalition Party (3.2%), Most-Hid (2.4%), Good Choice (2.1%), Slovak National Party (2.1%) and Homeland (1.6%).
The poll was carried out on a sample of 1,014 respondents in October 7-15.
