Support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ruling party is eroding further against a group established earlier this year by his main challenger Peter Magyar, an opinion poll showed.

Magyar’s Tisza Party has the backing of 47% of decided voters, with Orban’s Fidesz sliding to 36%, according to the survey by Median and published by the HVG news website Thursday.
