Two months before the national elections, the FPÖ continues to lead the polls. In the APA election trend, it currently stands at 27.2 percent, followed by the ÖVP and SPÖ.

The ÖVP has 23.1 percent, while the SPÖ has just under two percentage points less. Although the Social Democrats have actually had the better poll results since the beginning of the year, they have had to settle for third place since the middle of the previous month.

NEOS narrowly overtake the Greens
The NEOS and the Greens are also close together. According to the APA election trend, they currently achieve ten and 9.5 percent respectively. The NEOS have often been ahead in polls since the beginning of the year. 

Here you can see the parties' poll ratings between February and July 2024.

The Beer Party currently has a good chance of making it into the National Council: a five-week poll average gives it 5.1%. Four percent is required in Austria. Recently, however, the figures have fallen slightly, with the small party still polling 6.5 percent in mid-June.

KPÖ would not make it in
The situation is different for the KPÖ: It currently only holds 2.5 percent and would therefore miss out on a place in the National Council. The Communists only achieved just over four percent this year between the end of March and the end of April, immediately after their strong performance in the mayoral election in Salzburg.

For the APA election trend, polls conducted in the past five weeks and published at federal, provincial and municipal level ("Sunday poll") are summarized.
