Polls for Vienna Election See SPÖ Clearly Ahead of FPÖ

All recently published polls paint a stable picture for the Vienna election: The SPÖ clearly leads in first place, while the FPÖ is in second place with a significant gap. The battle for third place is close between the Greens, the ÖVP, and the NEOS. The KPÖ is below the five percent threshold, with slim chances of entering, while the Team HC Strache has even less.

Vienna Election Polls: SPÖ Nears 40 Percent Mark - FPÖ Over 20 Percent Mark

With an average of 38.6 percent in the polls, the SPÖ is clearly ahead. Although it nears the 40 percent mark in the surveys, it narrowly misses it in most. The party of Mayor Michael Ludwig had reached 41.6 percent in the 2020 election, but last summer it had already dropped to just under 35 percent in polls. The FPÖ surpassed the 20 percent mark in all polls, averaging 21.8 percent. This roughly corresponds to a tripling compared to the last election. However, during the campaign, it could not gain any ground against the SPÖ.

Polls for Vienna Election Show Close Race for Third Place

No preliminary decision has been made in the race for third place. The Greens, ÖVP, and NEOS are close together within their respective margins of fluctuation. With an average of 12.3 percent, the eco-party tends to have the best chances - it has consistently surpassed the 10 percent mark in polls since January. However, even the 12.3 percent would be a decrease of 2.5 percentage points compared to the last election in 2020.

Close behind is the ÖVP with an average of 11.1 percent. This would mean a loss of almost half of its vote share from 2020. The ÖVP was also in the double-digit range in all polls, but it has tended to lose slightly during the campaign. Both the Greens and ÖVP would achieve a majority with the SPÖ with their predicted poll values.

It is not quite as certain for the NEOS, who are currently governing in a coalition with the SPÖ. They average 9.2 percent in the polls, which is an increase of nearly two percentage points compared to the last election. In the majority of surveys, the Pinks miss the ten percent mark.

KPÖ and Team HC Strache Likely to Miss Entry in Vienna Election

Whether a red-pink majority is possible again also depends on the result of the KPÖ. With an average of 3.8 percent, it is still quite clearly below the five percent threshold - in most surveys, the Communists landed at four percent. The Team HC Strache is likely far from entering: In the APA election trend, the small party is not recorded. This is limited to parties that have reached at least four percent in one poll in the last 52 weeks.
