If Parliamentary elections were held next Sunday, three parties and an electoral bloc would join the legislature. This is PSRM, PAS-PPDA binomial block, DPM, and the Shor Party.

The Democratic Party is among the formations that grow in electorate preferences, while PSRM is decreasing. These are the conclusions of the most recent survey conducted by IMAS, presented today.

The Party of Socialists remains in the top of voter preferences. More specifically, 28.5 percent of voters would vote for this party. If by the end of last year the socialists were growing in surveys, the IMAS study now shows a decrease in the number of PSRM sympathizers by 0.4 percentage points compared to December 2018.

The PAS-PPDA binomial block would also enter the future Parliament. The two formations are quoted by just over 19 percent of the votes, up by only half a percentage point as compared to how much the parties of Maia Sandu and Andrei Nastase have accumulated separately at the end of last year.

DPM is also enjoying an increase in voter options. For the party headed by Vlad Plahotniuc, 18.4 percent of Moldovans are ready to vote, almost two percentage points higher than the data presented in the previous study. In the last two years, however, the number of DPM has increased fourfold. 

The IMAS poll also shows that in the future legislature the "Shor" Party will join, although according to previous studies, this party is below the electoral threshold for parties of 6 percent. Thus, Ilan Shor's Party is supported by almost seven per cent of Moldovans, up 1.6 percentage points. 

At the limit of the electoral threshold is the Communist Party, for which 5.6% of voters would vote, compared to 5.3% as it was quoted two months ago. The IMAS survey was commissioned by the Foundation for Modern Democracy, from January 19 to 31, on a sample of 1507 participants from 112 localities. The margin of error is plus minus 2.5%.
