Political Election Polls: What Italians Think of Abrogative Referendums, Parties in the Latest Survey
SWG for La7
Calls not to go to the polls, outrage over the center-right boycotts. One month on, Italy is divided over the abrogative referendums. Voting orientations
Appeals not to go to vote from the government, even from those who represent institutional positions. Indignation from the other side, from those who instead want to bring people to the polls and reach the quorum . It would be a good electoral result, for the opposition - for those sensitive to the abrogative referendum questions of June 8 and 9 on work and citizenship, of course - in the event that that limit is reached. As difficult and unlikely as it is. In the meantime, the SWG poll for TgLa7 directed by Enrico Mentana is taking care of measuring the country's sentiment towards the polls destined to divide and split the country.
According to the survey, at present, just over half of the interviewees are aware of the consultations of June 8 and 9, 54%, while about a third intend to go to the polls, a figure that varies between 32 and 36%. Only one voter in ten knows the subject of the questions well. A clear prevalence of " Yes " to all the questions among those intending to go to the polls, the smallest gap is recorded in the referendum on citizenship, in which the yeses are at 56% , still prevalent. There is a widespread feeling of poor coverage of the referendum by the media .
The data on voting orientations were measured against those collected and released on Monday, May 5. Brothers of Italy grew by 0.3%, the party of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is firmly at the top at 30.4%. The League maintains its advantage over its ally Forza Italia even if it is really by a hair, 8.6% to 8.5%. Maurizio Lupi's Noi Moderati is stable at 1%. It is the center-right in government that is inviting Italians to ignore the referendums.
On the opposition side, both the Democratic Party and the 5 Star Movement slip, at 22.4% and 12%. The Green Left Alliance gains 0.1% and rises to 6.5%. Carlo Calenda's Action is stable at 3.5%, Italia Viva at 2.9%. +Europa is at 1.6%. Under the generic heading "other lists", 2.6%. 31% of those interviewed did not express an opinion, a figure that, even if it fell by one percentage point, recalls the high abstention rates at every electoral appointment.
