Democrats lead in preferences for European elections

The Democrat Party, with Sorin Frunzaverde (former Army Minister) and Anca Boagiu (former European Integration Minister) lead in the electors' preferences for the European Parliament elections, scheduled for this fall.
The Democrat Party is currently chosen by 36% of the poll respondents, followed by a mile by the main Opposition Party, Social Democrats (PSD), only reaches 15.2%.

Democrat Party's popularity grew 9.1% since May, while Social Democrats won 1.4% more of the electors.

The controversial New Generation Party, undefined in the political spectrum, but rather nationalist-orthodox, passed the governing Liberals, who dropped to the 4th place, with a 7.2% loss since may.

In case presidential elections would take place next month, 49.2% would vote for the president in office, Traian Basescu, who is followed by the New Generation leader Gigi Becali, with 14%, and Social Democrat head Mircea Geoana, with 13.5%.
