A further 24% of votes would support the governing Social Democratic Party, or PSD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two other parties included in the current centrist government coalition, the National Liberal Party (or PNL) and Save Romania Union (or USR), come in third and fourth, with 15% and 10%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Another far-right opposition party, the Young People\u2019s Party (or POT), comes in fifth with 7%. Finally, the Hungarian minority party UDMR and the far-right party SOS Romania would score 4% each.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The findings are concerning for the current coalition, which hinges on the cooperation of the Social Democratic Party, the largest actor, with the three other center-right parties, namely PNL, USR, and UDMR.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the support given to parties, around half of the respondents (49%) would agree, to some extent, with the suspension of president Nicu\u0219or Dan, while 41% oppose the idea, according to the same survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 37% believe that the evidence is insufficient for sending former presidential candidate C\u0103lin Georgescu to trial, either for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romania-insider.com\/calin-georgescu-sent-trial-attemped-coup-sept-2025\">attempted coup<\/a> or far-right, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.romania-insider.com\/calin-georgescu-sent-trial-july-2025\">legionary propaganda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results suggest that a large part of the public does not yet have a clear opinion regarding the case, indicating uncertainty and caution in assessing legal and media information,\u201d CURS noted.<\/p>\n<p>Around \u201c75.2% of AUR voters and 72.2% of POT voters support the possible suspension of president Nicu\u0219or Dan.
