This was shown by the results of the last sociological survey “Consumer Sentiment 2025” published by Hotnews.ro, the last before the elections, conducted by the independent agency MKOR from April 24 to 27, 2025 on a representative sample of 1,750 respondents aged 18 to 65 years with a margin of error of ±2.5% and a confidence level of 95%.
The authors of the study conclude about the extreme tension before the elections based on three key results of the survey: bilzki results between the main candidates, a significant increase in the number of undecided voters and a noticeable decrease in their activity.
According to the poll, 33.1% of voters are ready to support George Simion (AUR) in the first round, which is 1.9% more than in March.
However, this increase comes in a much more volatile electoral context, the survey said. The share of undecided voters, or those who said they would not vote, rose by 5 percentage points, from 27.4% in March to 33.1% in April. The share of those who do not know who they would vote for rose from 16.2% to 21.9%.
The next places in voters’ preferences are occupied by Crin Antonescu (21%) and Nicusor Dan (19.4%), reversing the order compared to March, when Nicusor Dan was in second place. Victor Ponta loses ground, dropping to 14.8% from 17.1% in the previous survey. Elena Lasconi’s figures, on the contrary, have slightly increased, from 5.3% in March to 7.3%.
Based on these results, the authors of the MKOR study state that if in March the outcome of the elections was almost a foregone conclusion in favor of Simion’s victory in both the first and second rounds of elections, now the situation is less certain. The victory of the candidate from the far-right AUR in the first round remains obvious. But there may be surprises in the second round.
