Orban Challenger Magyar’s Party Widens Lead in Hungarian Poll

The upstart political party that launched a challenge against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s rule only months ago has extended its lead against the nationalist leader in the latest opinion poll on Tuesday.

The Tisza Party led by former regime insider Peter Magyar has the support of 46% of decided voters against 39% for Orban’s Fidesz party, according to the pollster Median published by the news website HVG. The poll was carried out among 1,000 people between Oct. 28 and Nov. 4.
