Outcome completely open – EU elections: according to the survey, three parties are on equal footing

The ÖVP, SPÖ and Freedom Party are currently tied on the Sunday question for the EU elections on June 9. As a study by the Institute for Demoscopy & Data Analysis (IFDD) for the APA showed, all three parties would get 25 percent if the European Parliament were elected next Sunday. The Greens currently won 14 percent of the vote, the NEOS eight percent.

The results at a glance:

The results of the elections would be known from today. While the 25 percent would represent a huge loss for the People’s Party, which received 34.6 percent of the vote in the 2019 elections, the SPÖ and FPÖ could be happy with a gain – the Social Democrats would make a slight gain, as they won in 2019. the last EU elections 23.9 percent.

Big plus for FPÖ
On the other hand, the 25 percent for the Freedom Party would represent a big increase. In 2019 – immediately after the Ibiza video became known – they received 17.2 percent of the votes.

With 14 percent, the Greens would achieve exactly their 2019 result (14.1 percent). And the NEOS would also end up at eight percent, approximately where they ended up in 2019 (8.4 percent).

ÖVP “headless”
While Andreas Schieder and Harald Vilimsky appear to be the top candidates for the SPÖ and FPÖ, the ÖVP, “the big election loser at the moment”, is still “headless”, according to IFDD director Christoph Haselmayer.

If we want to continue competing for first place in the EU elections, a decision must be made quickly, Haselmayer said. In August, ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer promised a decision on the issue by the end of the year. And it will also be crucial for the Greens and NEOS who takes part in the election battle as a front woman or front man, Haselmayer said.
