What the data of another survey shows
A survey carried out by INSCOP between March 2-6, 2026 gave AUR a score of 38%, compared to 40.9% in January 2026. AUR was quoted at 38% in November 2025, 40% in October, 40.8% in September, 40.5% in June, 38.1% in May 2025.
On the 2nd place in the INSCOP survey in March was PSD, with 19.2%, followed by PNL with 14.5%, USR – 11.4%, UDMR – 4%.
“The INSCOP-Informat.ro barometer shows that AUR drops below the 40% threshold again, reaching 38%, down from the almost 41 percent at the beginning of the year. PSD and PNL are separated by 3-5 percentage points depending on the reporting basis – respondents who choose a party, respectively respondents who choose a party and are sure that they will go to vote, and PNL and USR are separated by 1-3 percentage points according to the same criteria. Analyzing the INSCOP data measured in the last 10 months, there is no clear trend of increase or decrease for any political party in Romania”, said the director of Inscop Research, Remus Ștefureac, in a statement accompanying the survey.
