Estonian Ruling Party's Recovery Halts, Polls Show Opposition Dominance
A recent Norstat poll has revealed that the Estonian Reform Party's growing public support has stalled at 14.7%, leaving the government coalition with a mere 16.5% backing compared to the parliamentary opposition's commanding 73.9%.
- —The Reform Party's public support rating has stopped increasing, according to the latest Norstat poll, after a period of growth since the start of the year.
- —Isamaa remains the leading party with 26.6% support, followed by the Center Party at 20.6%, and the Reform Party in third place with 14.7%.
- —Coalition parties Reform and Eesti 200 together hold 16.5% support, while parliamentary opposition parties collectively have 73.9% support.
- —The poll surveyed 4,000 voting-age Estonian citizens between January 12 and February 7.
Recap
The halt in the Reform Party's polling recovery is less about a single party's numbers and more about the starkly revealed vulnerability of the ruling coalition. With public support for the opposition (73.9%) dwarfing that of the government (16.5%), the government's parliamentary majority now appears disconnected from the electorate's current sentiment, suggesting a period of heightened political pressure and instability.
