Eight political forces have a chance to enter the next National Assembly, according to a sociological study by Gallup International Balkan, commissioned and financed by the BNR.

If the elections were held in the first ten days of September, the GERB-SDS coalition would have received 25.9%, and "We Continue the Change" - 19.2%. MRF and "Vazrazhdane" are in a race for the third place with 11.5% and 11.3%, respectively. The BSP follows with 9.8% and "Democratic Bulgaria" with 7.6%. The four percent barrier is narrowly passed by "There Is Such a People" (4.3%) and the new party "Bulgarian Rise" party of former caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev (4.2%). According to the survey, only 49% of voters or 2.6 million people expressed their desire to vote.

"There could be a serious battle for all the places, the battle for the first place is also not over," Parvan Simeonov, executive director of Gallup International Balkan, has told the BNR.
