Deva Party: 2.3 percent (Part of Table of Six)

WATCH:  Erdogan Will Never Win An Election, Ever Again!

 

Averages of 15 polls taken in November and early December put AKP-MHP at around 40%, with Table of Six commanding 45%.  HDP-led left wing alliance   has 13% of the national vote.

 

These results demonstrate that the summer-fall surge of AKP-MHP  has petered off in November-December.

The Table of Six regained the lead, but has not managed to increase its share of the national vote.

 

Lates presidential polls show the presumptive candidate of Table of Six, Kemal Kilicdaroglu leading incumbent Erdogan in the second round of the presidential race, but Erdogan may be closing the distance according to some polls.
