Three parties would make it to Parliament in the event of early elections, survey

Three political formations would enter Parliament if early elections were to take place next Sunday, according to the data from the socio-political survey conducted by ATES Research Group for June 2026. The Action and Solidarity Party would receive 33.6% of the respondents’ votes, followed by the Party of Socialists with 9.4% and the Home Democracy Party with 7%. Other formations would not pass the electoral threshold. At the same time, 15.2% of respondents stated that they would not vote for any party, and 11.4% are undecided.

In a press conference at IPN, the founder and executive director of ATES Research Group, Veronica Ateș, stated that despite the large number of electoral competitors in the parliamentary elections of September 2025, citizens maintain their perception of political options. “If I were to make a comparison with the results of the 2025 survey, I would like to highlight the Home Democracy Party, which last year, in July 2025, rose from 2.4-2.6% to 7%,” Veronica Ateș mentioned.

According to the survey, President Maia Sandu enjoys the highest trust of the citizens, being mentioned by 34.6% of respondents. The following positions are held by the leader of the Socialist Party, Igor Dodon, with 7.6%, the leader of the PDA, Vasile Costiuc, with 6.7%, the mayor of the capital, leader of the National Alternative Movement Party, Ion Ceban, with 4.8% and the leader of the Political Party Partidul Nostru, Renato Usatii, with 4.2%.

At the same time, 18.3% of respondents stated that they do not trust any politician, while 7.2% did not provide an answer. The data reflects the spontaneous mentions of the respondents primarily of options.

The survey also shows that, in the event of a referendum on the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union, 59% of citizens would vote “in favor”, while 28.4% “against”. The data indicates a decrease in skepticism compared to last year, when 54.2% supported integration into the EU, and 32.3% declared themselves against.

The socio-political survey was conducted between May 27 and June 8 on a sample of 1,004 people from 321 localities. The maximum sampling error is ±3%.

Note: The IPN Agency offers the right of reply to those who consider themselves targeted in the news made from the statements of the organizers of this press conference, including by facilitating the organization of another press conference under similar conditions.
