Pirate Party Enjoys 10 Months On Top Of Polls

Results from the latest Gallup poll show the Pirate Party polling in the top spot, as they have been doing for ten months in a row.

RÚV reports that, according to the poll, 33% of respondents said they would vote for the Pirate Party if elections were held today. This puts them in the top spot, again, as part of a streak going on ten months now.

Where support for the ruling coalition – comprised of the Progressive Party and the Independence Party – is concerned, 12% said they would vote for the former and 25% for the latter if elections were held today. Interestingly, of those who responded to whether or not they support the coalition as a whole, 39% said they did, or 2% more than the combined support of the two parties therein.

Other parties did not fare so well. 11% said they would vote for the Left-Greens; 10% said they would vote for the Social Democrats, and 4% said they would vote for Bright Future.

Outside of party-specific results, 5% said they would vote for a party not currently in parliament, 9% said they would submit a blank ballot, and 12% would not disclose their affiliation.
