Hungarian opposition leads PM Orban's Fidesz, poll shows

BUDAPEST, April ‌10 (Reuters) - Hungary's ​centre-right ​Tisza party leads Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ‌ruling Fidesz ahead of Sunday's parliamentary ⁠election, a poll published by ‌newspaper Nepszava showed on ‌Friday.

Nationalist Orban faces the biggest challenge to his rule in ​16 years, although the large number of undecided voters ⁠means the outcome of the election is ​uncertain.

Tisza, led by former government insider Peter Magyar, had the ​support of 52% ‌of decided voters, while 39% backed Fidesz, the ⁠poll conducted by Publicus Institute showed.

The survey, which had a ⁠sample size of 1,000, showed 38% support ​for Tisza among all voters, with Fidesz backed by 29%. Some 25% ‌of respondents said they had not decided how ‌they would vote.
