Parties with a smaller electorate might yield surprises at Bulgaria's forthcoming snap vote on October 5, a sociology from polling agency Afis said.
Citing his pollster's survey dating end-August, Aslanov reminded the 4-5 parties nearling the threshold of 4% required for a bidder to make it into Parliament stand chances to improve their final output.
Aslanov explained that, according to the survey, swinging voters are currently inclined to choose not between two parties, but among a bigger set of alternatives.
In his words, the Patriotic Front (a nationalist coalition between NFSB and VMRO), right-wing Reformist Bloc, socialist Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV) and Bulgaria without Censorship hold the potential to boost their support, going beyond poll estimates.
In an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio he raised his agency's concern that the election campaign is driving voters back instead of generating support.
