Vote estimations
Graphical summary
Poll results
Poll results are listed in the tables below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If such date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. When a specific poll does not show a data figure for a party, the party's cell corresponding to that poll is shown empty.
Polls that show their results without disregarding those respondents who are undecided or said they will abstain from voting (either physically or by voting blank) have been re-calculated by disregarding undecided and/or abstaining voters from the totals offered through a simple rule of three, in order to obtain results comparable to other polls and the official election results.
