A course survey melts the golden advance. Călin Georgescu, in front of Nicușor Dan in the top of the most reliable politicians

Gold is in the first place in the voting intention of the Romanians, if next Sunday there were parliamentary elections, according to a course survey, released on Sunday, which shows that the party led by George Simion would collect a number of votes close to the first three political formations.

On Saturday, an avant -garde survey shows that gold would collect a number of votes close to the total collected by PSD, PNL, USR.

• The course survey was conducted from September 5 to 19, 2025, on a sample of 1,100 adults, representative for the population of Romania, with an error margin of ± 3%. Iosif Buble, who has a course, explained previously for Hotnews, that omnibus polls are self -financed.

The September 2025 course survey shows an audience dominated by pessimism, with high confidence in the institutions considered stable and protective, but with pronounced skepticism towards politicians and political institutions. In the electoral plane, gold is in the first place, followed by PSD and PNL, in an economic context perceived as difficult by the majority of the population.

Gold, on the first place in the intention to vote

The course survey today, September 21, plays gold on the place one at the voting intention of the Romanians, with 34% of the votes. If parliamentary elections will take place next Sunday, PSD would obtain 23%, PNL 16%, and USR 12%.

An avant -garde survey released on Saturday the gold quota with 41%, PSD with 19%, PNL with 13%and USR with 13%.

UDMR and SOS Romania have 5%each, the party of young people 3%, and other 2%formations. Gold is in the first place, followed by PSD and PNL, and smaller parties are kept at low levels, but can become relevant in alliance calculations.

Romanians, dissatisfied by the direction in which the country is heading

The course survey shows an image pressed by economic dissatisfaction and skepticism towards the political class.

Ask how I see the country's go, 70% of Romanians say that Romania goes in the wrong direction. Only 24% think that things are going in a good direction, and 6% did not have an answer.

Georgescu, in front of Nicușor Dan at the confidence chapter

No politician manages to gather a majority support of Romanians when it comes to trust. The big differences between scores and the high level of distrust show a fragmented political scene, without a figure that focuses public support (over 50%), the survey shows.

However, Calin Georgescu leads the top of the most reliable politicians with 40%, followed by George Simion with 38%. President Nicușor Dan is quoted by 34%.

Among those in office, Sorin Grindeanu and Ilie Bolojan are evaluated by 26%, while Anamaria Gavrilă, Dominic Fritz and Diana Şoșoaca each have 19%.

Romanians, skeptical towards political institutions

The low confidence in the political area contrasts strongly with the one granted to the institutions perceived as a protection or with a practical role, according to the course survey.

The ranking of institutions remains stable: the army and firefighters (79%), the church (70%) and the police (56%) are best seen. In the positive area are the European Union (55%), the private environment (52%) and UN (50%).

On the opposite side, political institutions are evaluated modestly: Presidency (40%), Government (27%), Constitutional Court (26%) and Parliament (25%).

Opinions divided against Government measures Bolojan

Regarding the second package of economic measures, the opinions are divided. Distribution shows a fragmented perception, in which neither support nor rejection dominates clearly.

According to the survey, 36% say that some decisions were correct, others do not, 29% consider them unjustified and unnecessary, and 24% see them as justified and necessary.

Ask if the effects of these measures have directly felt, 52% have declared a very large impact, and 31% a large impact. Only 9% said the effects were small, while 4% felt very little or not at all, and another 4% could not appreciate. Basically, over eight out of ten Romanians state that the changes have directly reached the family budget.

Financial pressure, hard feel

The figures that refer to the financial situation of the households outline the image of a population that feels the economic pressure and the stagnation of the income.

Asked how they went financially in the last year, 46% say that their situation was worse (27% “to some extent”, 19% “significant”). 32% state that they have remained at the same level, but are not satisfied, while 16% have remained at the same level and are satisfied. Only 4% say they went better, and 2% did not answer.
