Polls: FdI at 28% Pulls Ahead of PD and M5S, AVS Surpasses the League

Brothers of Italy solidly confirms its position as the leading party in Italians' voting intentions, according to the latest Political Thermometer poll. The survey, conducted with 2,700 interviews on October 28 and 29, 2026, assigns Giorgia Meloni's party 28.1% support. The Democratic Party comes second at 20.8%, followed by the Five Star Movement at 12.5%.

The ranking continues with Forza Italia at 7.5%, National Future at 7.1%, and the Green-Left Alliance at 6.3%, which surpasses the League, stationary at 5.6%. Action and Italia Viva stand at 2.9% and 2.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, today the center-left leaders are meeting in a summit to discuss the budget maneuver and define a roadmap ahead of the upcoming elections.

The Italian political landscape is dominated by the center-right coalition led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in power since late 2022 following their victory in that year's general election. The coalition originally comprised Brothers of Italy, the League, and Forza Italia. Over time, the landscape has fragmented with the emergence of new formations like Futuro Nazionale, led by former general Roberto Vannacci, and the consolidation of the Greens and Left Alliance.

The opposition, often referred to as the 'broad field,' primarily consists of the Democratic Party, the Five Star Movement, and the Greens and Left Alliance. While maintaining distinct positions on crucial issues such as foreign policy (e.g., arms shipments to Ukraine) and taxation, these forces are attempting to build a unified alternative to the government. Today's summit between their leaders aims precisely to define a common path regarding electoral programs and the selection process for the prime ministerial candidate, overcoming internal divisions to present a united front in the next elections, expected in 2027.
