The Gallup polling institute examined the qualities of the five party leaders represented in parliament. Major differences emerged. In one category, NEOS boss Beate Meinl-Reisinger has an advantage over her male competitors.
The requirements profile addressed to the five politicians was queried as part of a mood barometer.
The electorate trusts the NEOS boss the most
When it comes to ‘integrity’ and ‘trust’, 51 percent of respondents think Meinl-Reisinger has these qualities. Behind them are Babler (47 percent), Nehammer (45 percent) and Kogler (42 percent). Kickl comes last in this category with 31 percent.
Kickl leads with perseverance and closeness to the people
Kickl scores best on ‘perseverance’. 74 percent of respondents believe that nothing will stop him from his plans, 65 percent consider him assertive. Meinl-Reisinger and Nehammer are considered assertive by about half of those surveyed, Babler by a third and Kogler by a quarter. Kickl is also closest to citizens with 65 percent, followed by Babler (59 percent).
According to the survey, the FPÖ leader expresses his opinion most clearly: 80 percent confirm this characteristic. Meinl-Reisinger (68 percent) and Karl Nehammer (66 percent) are also doing relatively well here. Babler (53 percent) and Kogler (42 percent) seem to communicate less clearly.
Nehammer is at the forefront when it comes to resilience
When it comes to personal resilience, Chancellor Nehammer scores first with 60 percent approval. 56 percent associate this characteristic with Kickl and 53 percent with Meinl-Reisinger.
“Kickl tackles problems head-on and makes it clear to people that he is on their side, understands the reality of their lives and stands up for their concerns. Rebellion against the political elites seems credible from the role of the opposition,” explains Fronaschütz, head of the Austrian Gallup Institute.
