If the elections were to take place next Sunday, 33,9 percent of the decided voters would cast their ballots for the SMC Party of Miro Cerar.

The latest survey by the Mediana agency also shows that 20,6 percent would vote for the SDS Democrats, while 10,5 percent would vote for the Social Democrats SD.

The Pensioners' Party DeSUS would win around 8,4 percent of the vote from decided voters, the SLS would get 5,1 percent, the Alliance of Alenka Bratušek 4,8 percent and Positive Slovenia 3,5 percent. The latest public opinion survey was carried out by the Mediana Institute for market and media research. The telephone survey was conducted between the 23rd and 26th of June among 600 adult Slovenian citizens.
NSi falls short of parliamentary threshold

The NSi New Slovenia –Christian Democrats party would win 3,3 percent of the vote from decided voters. The United Left Coalition (DSD, IDS and TRS) would get 2,7 percent, the Green Party 1,5 percent, the Pirate Party 1,5 percent, the I Believe Party would get 1,3 percent, the SNS Nationalists 1,1 percent and the Civic List exactly one percent.
Less than a percent

The Humana Party, the Equal Citizens – Forward Slovenia Party and the Liberal Economic Party have convinced only 0,7, 0,2, and 0,1 percent of decided voters.

Overall count gives same ranking
If we take into account all the respondents - the undecided ones who still aren't sure who to vote for, those that preferred not to answer, those that said they wouldn't vote for any party, and those that said they wouldn't take part in the vote - the party rankings remain the same, although with a few percentage changes.
Under that methodology Miro Cerar's SMC Party again enjoys the biggest support - 26,2 of Slovenia's voters would vote for his party. In second are the SDS Democrats with 15,9 percent; third are the Social Democrats SD with 8,1 percent of the vote.

The top three are followed by: the Pensioners' Party DeSUS with 6,5 percent, SLS with 3,9 percent, the Alliance of Alenka Bratušek with 3,7 percent, Positive Slovenia with 2,7 percent, NSi with 2,6 percent and the United Left with 2,1 percent. All other parties have one percent support or less.

More than half of voters to take part in the elections
Around 54 percent of all eligible voters will definitely take part in the elections. Around 15,2 percent said they would probably take part in the elections. 5,6 percent of the voters will most likely not go out to vote, while 20,5 percent – a fifth of all voters - will definitely not take part in the elections. 4,6 percent of the respondents still aren't sure if they will vote. Those were the results of Mediana's telephone survey conducted by the CATI method. The survey was commissioned by RTV Slovenija.
