Bratislava, December 22 (TASR) - If a general election had been held around November, the winner would have been the main coalition party Smer-SD with 41.7 percent of the votes, according to a poll carried out by Median Sk.
The poll, which was carried out between November 9-December 6 on a sample of 1,154 respondents, showed that the main opposition party SDKU-DS would have come second on 14.4 percent, with the Slovak National Party (SNS) third on 12.7 percent.
Next came the Christian Democrats (KDH) on 9.5 percent and LS-HZDS on 9 percent.
No other party would have reached the 5-percent threshold required to gain seats in Parliament. The ethnic-Hungarian SMK would have come closest on 4 percent, followed by the Slovak-Hungarian Most-Hid on 3.2 percent and Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) on 2.1 percent.
As many as 57.1 percent of the respondents said that they would have taken part in the vote, while 37.8 stated that they wouldn't have done so and 5.1 were undecided.
