If legislative elections were held next Sunday, the same four parties would enter Parliament as after the elections of 2010. The Communists would poll 34% of the vote, the Liberal-Democrats – 14%, the Democrats 9%, while the Liberals – 6%. These are the results of a Sociopolitical Barometer commissioned by IPN news Agency. The survey was conducted by the Marketing and Polling Institute (IMAS).

According to the poll, the Communist Party is known by over 99% of those surveyed, the Democratic Party (PDM) by almost 98%, the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) by about 97%. Almost 96% the respondents know the Liberal Party (PL), over 60% know the Liberal Reforming Party that appeared after the split within the Liberal Party, while over 62% know the Party of Socialists.

IMAS manager general Doru Peruti, who presented the results of the poll in a news conference at IPN, said a comparison was made between the confidence in parties now and the previous polls, of November 2012 and May 2013. 

The PLDM enjoys the confidence of 22% of the respondents, as against 18% this May and 30% last November. The Communists are trusted by 38% of those polled, as opposed to 43% this May and 27% last November. The PDM is trusted by 16% of those questioned, as this May and compared with 24% last November. The PL enjoys the trust of 14% of the respondents, up from this May, but down from last November (23%). The Liberal reformers appeared in the IMAS polls for the first time. They are trusted by 15% of those polled.

The survey was carried out between October 19 and November 11. It covered a sample of 1,126 people from 76 settlements. The margin of sampling error is 3%.
