Vienna’s Black-Blues on path to success

Es geht doch: Schwarz-Blau auf gutem Weg

The cooperation between the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) and the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) is often described as difficult and conflict-ridden. Yet, in Vienna, the two parties have been governing together since 2020 - and quite successfully, as the latest opinion polls show.

In the latest poll by the SORA Institute, the FPÖ came in second with 25%, behind the SPÖ (31%). The ÖVP came in third with 21%. This means that the FPÖ has gained 4 percentage points compared to the last poll in May 2022, while the ÖVP has lost 3 percentage points.

The Black-Blues' success in Vienna is due in part to their focus on local issues. They have also been able to appeal to voters who are dissatisfied with the SPÖ's policies.
