Had a general election taken place at the beginning of September, it would have been won by the extra-parliamentary Voice-SD of former Prime Minister for Smer-SD Peter Pellegrini on 18.5% of the votes, according to the results of a Focus agency poll. The opposition Smer-SD party would be second with 14.4%, followed by the co-governing Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) on 11.7%, major governing Ordinary People on 8.2%, the extra-parliamentary parties Progressive Slovakia (7%), Republic (6.8%), the coalition We Are Family party (6.7%), the non-parliamentary parties Christian Democrats (KDH - 6.1%), and ethnic-Hungarian Alliance (5.5%).
The far-right People's Party Our Slovakia (LSNS) would have failed to get into the House, as it would have garnered only 4.6%. Other parties under the 5% threshold included the Slovak National Party (SNS - 3.6%), the smallest governing party For the People (2.2%), and Good Choice (2.1%).
