Turkish political polling trends

Overview

Recent polling data in Turkey indicates fluctuating support for major political parties, particularly within the Istanbul region.

In mid-August 2026, AK Parti Istanbul Provincial Chairman Abdullah Özdemir reported that the AK Parti held 44.5% of the vote in Istanbul, leading the CHP, which stood at approximately 40%. Özdemir noted specific gains in districts such as Beykoz and Gaziosmanpaşa, though he acknowledged the party had not yet reached the 51.14% support level achieved by Ekrem İmamoğlu in the 2024 local elections.

By late August 2026, data suggested a more complex landscape. In the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, a July report by analyst Murat Kızılboğa indicated the Yeni Parti leading with 36.2%, ahead of the AK Parti at 34.3%. This marked a decline for the AK Parti from its 38.17% share in the May 14 election. Nationally, an Optimar Araştırma poll covering 26 provinces placed the AK Parti in first with 33.4% after distributing undecided voters, followed by the Yeni Parti at 18.2% and the DEM Parti at 11.4%.

In early September 2026, further polling by Murat Kızılboğa highlighted regional shifts. In Afyonkarahisar, the AK Parti remains the leader at 38.2%, while the Yeni Parti has emerged as a strong second with 26.9%. In Trabzon, the AK Parti experienced a significant decline, dropping to 36.5% from 47.77% in the last general election. In Trabzon, the Yeni Parti rose to second place with 24.6%, while the Yeniden Refah Partisi (YRP) grew to 9% support.
