In the lower part are Anca Alexandrescu (80.5%), Cătălin Drula (78.1%), Ciprian Ciucu (74.4%) and Dominic Fritz (69.5%).

The survey shows that Nicușor Dan is followed in the trust list by:

• Ilie Bolojan – 36.6% confidence (38.3% of those who know him)
• Daniel Băluță – 33.8% (37.6% of those who have heard of him)
• Ciprian Ciucu – 32.1% (43.1% compared to those who know him)

• Sorin Grindeanu – 14.6% (16.8% of those who know him)

Director of INSCOP Research, Remus Ștefureac, explained that confidence levels must be interpreted together with notoriety: “Lesser-known personalities naturally have a smaller basis for evaluation. Also, questions about trust do not necessarily reflect voting intention – a respondent may trust more than one personality at once.”

The study was conducted through telephone interviews (CATI) on a sample of 1,107 adults, representative of the non-institutionalized population of the Municipality of Bucharest. The maximum margin of error is ±2.95% at a 95% confidence level.
