Bulgaria's ruling centrist-right GERB has maintained the highest rating among the country's political parties, according to a poll conducted by Sofia-based Center for Analyses and Marketing.

Approximately 32.7% of the 1218 Bulgarians questioned in the poll would vote for GERB if the parliamentary elections were to be carried out now, while 17.8% would support the oppositional Bulgarian Socialist Party.

The ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms would gather 5.7%, followed by the potential project of former EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva, "Bulgaria for Citizens" (which is a civic movement and not a party yet) would enjoy 5.7%.

The right-wing Blue Coalition is close to passing the 4% barrier necessary to enter the Parliament, while the troubled far-right Ataka (Attack) would gather just 1.3%, the pollsters reckon.

Bulgaria's new President Rosen Plevneliev has the highest approval rating among all Bulgarian politicians – 51.6%, according to the Center for Analyses and Marketing. He is followed by EU Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva (50.8%) and PM Boyko Borisov (49.8%).

The presidency is the most trusted Bulgarian institution, reaching a rating of 38.4%, followed by the police (36.5%), the poll results conclude. The country's judicial system is trusted by a mere 14.4%.
