Election Poll Results Announced in Eskişehir: What is the Difference Between CHP and AK Parti?

A new "Voter Tendencies Report" covering the Haziran and Temmuz 2026 periods has been prepared by ORC Araştırma Şirketi. The comprehensive research in question provided important data for the future by examining the voter preferences in different provinces of Türkiye. In this context, the current political landscape in the Diyarbakır, Erzurum, and Eskişehir provinces was analyzed in detail. The results in Eskişehir, in particular, aroused great curiosity regarding the political dynamics and party preferences of the region. The research data is considered to be of a nature that will shape the strategies of the parties before the upcoming election agenda.

The question directed at the participants in the research, "If General Elections were held this Sunday, which party would you vote for?" clearly revealed the voting tendencies of the Eskişehir public. According to the responses, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) ranked first by a landslide in Eskişehir with a vote rate of 35 percent. Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AK Parti), on the other hand, ranked second with a vote rate of 31,9 percent, indicating that the gap between them has closed. The fact that the difference between the two major parties was measured at only 3,1 points proves that the political competition in the region is highly competitive. These results bring to mind the possibility of the voters in the city preserving or changing their votes until the very end.

When looking at the detailed results of the election poll, the vote rates of other parties and the status of their bases are also of great importance. Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi (MHP) managed to place third in the poll with a performance of 6,6 percent. The fact that İYİ Parti's vote rate in Eskişehir was measured at 6,1 percent indicates that the party maintains its strength in the region. In addition, other parties except Ulusal Yol also took their place among the voters' preferences via the poll. This data reveals that the voters do not only focus on the two major parties, but also provide certain levels of support to different political movements.

According to other prominent results of the research, the vote rates achieved by new and alternative parties are also at remarkable levels. Zafer Partisi continues to make its presence felt by finding 3,8 percent support in the latest poll. Dem Parti, on the other hand, managed to win the sympathy of a certain part of the participants with a vote rate of 3,6 percent. Büyük Birlik Partisi (BBP) also proved that it continues to be on the voters' radar with a vote rate of 3,5 percent. When these rates are evaluated together, they show that an electorate of approximately 17 percent in Eskişehir turns towards different political formations other than the main opposition and ruling parties.

These current data published by ORC Araştırma presented a comprehensive and clear picture of the voter tendencies in Eskişehir to the readers. The data compiled in the Haziran and Temmuz months formed a new ground for debate that will shape the political agenda of the city. It has become inevitable for the parties to take these rates into account in their processes of determining parliamentary candidates and planning their election campaigns. Political analysts are closely monitoring whether this table will directly reflect the election results or remain open to change until the very end. Such public opinion polls at the regional level provide quite valuable clues to understand the political fluctuations across the country in advance.
