COURSE survey. How the political crisis changed the voting intention for PSD and AUR and how the parties in the coalition stand / How many Romanians want the replacement of Bolojan

The party led by George Simion continues to be in first place in Romanians' voting intentions, with more than ten percent compared to the next place occupied by PSD, according to an opinion poll published on Saturday by CURS. However, AUR's percentages are down from what other surveys in April indicated.

• The research was carried out on a national sample of 1098 respondents using the CATI method. The margin of error is ±3% at a 95% confidence level.
• The Center for Urban and Regional Sociology (CURS) was founded in 1996 and is fully owned by former journalist Iosif Buble. Iosif Buble is married to Diana Tușa, current PSD deputy.
