“Continuing the Change” marks another drop in support, allowing GERB to overtake them. “Vazrazhdane” recorded growth for the second month in a row. More than half of Bulgarians are of the opinion that the government will not last a full term. 47% are of the opinion that they are not necessary early parliamentary elections.

After last month’s substantial outflow of support from the major institutions, we see some stabilization in the current survey with minimal erosion continuing.

The positive assessment of the Parliament’s work remained at 24% of all interviewees, while negative assessments rose to 66%.

With the government, we also register a slight drop in positive evaluations of the work – from 29% last month to 27% this month, and negative ones also marked a minimal increase from 56% in March to 58% in April. We note significant differences in the attitude towards the work of the government among the different party electorates. “Continuing Change” sympathizers are the most adamant in their support for the cabinet. The other three partners have a much more nuanced approach. Among supporters of Democratic Bulgaria, the ratio of positive to negative evaluation is in the proportion of 5 to 3. BSP sympathizers are divided into two equal parts in this evaluation, while those of “There is such a people” for the most part have a negative attitude towards the work of the cabinet.

There is no significant change for the president this month, with 50% positive and 38% negative for his work.

Almost half of Bulgarians (47%) are of the opinion that early parliamentary elections are not necessary. 37% are of the opposite opinion. Among the breakdowns by groups, it is striking that only among the sympathizers of GERB and Vazrazhdane is the dominant position that early parliamentary elections are necessary.

Just over half (52%) believe that the government will not last a full term. 28% are of the opposite opinion.

And this month, the erosion of support for “We continue the change” continues – from 22.9% among those who said they will vote in March, to 20.1% in April. This decline in the formation of Petkov and Vassilev leads to a structural change in electoral attitudes, and this month their main opponent in the person of GERB is now the first political force with 23.6% of the voters. DPS and BSP maintained similar levels compared to the previous month with 11.1% and 10.5% of voters, respectively. We are registering a second consecutive month of growth for “Vazrazhdane” – from 7.3% in March to 9.3% in April, which ranks Kostadinov’s party as the fifth political force in the country, close to the third and fourth. Democratic Bulgaria holds the positions of 7.1% of the voters, and “There is such a people” this month with 6.9% of all declared that they will vote in possible elections.
