Support ratings for Estonia's major political parties has not changed significantly in the past week, according to one market research firm, while the recent rise in support for the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) has reversed slightly, while the Reform Party's has improved slightly.
Support for the current Reform/Center coalition has fallen since the beginning of the year, when the pairing entered office, according to a recent survey. Around half of respondents expressed criticism both of the government's performance, and of that of Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform).
Support for the opposition Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) has risen to an all-time high, according to one market research company, and the party has cemented its position as most-supported in the latest weekly poll, ahead of the coalition Reform Party by a little over one percentage point. Elections to the local municipalities take place on October 17
The apparent, recent rise in popularity of the opposition Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) has in part been helped along by mistakes on the part of the coalition Reform Party, political scientist Tõnis Saarts says.
