Progressive Slovakia leads polls but loses loyal voters as Christian Democrats fall outside parliament

Progressive Slovakia maintains its position as the country's most popular political party according to new polling data, but the party is experiencing a decline in voter loyalty. The survey reveals that Smer-SD, the main opposition social-democratic party, retains more committed supporters despite trailing in overall popularity. Meanwhile, the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH), a conservative party that has been part of Slovakia's political landscape since the post-communist transition, has fallen below the five percent threshold needed to enter parliament. The polling also shows that two other parties are expanding their voter base: the far-right Republic party and the liberal Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), suggesting a potential reshuffling of Slovakia's political landscape ahead of future elections.
