ORC Research has released multiple findings regarding the performance and popularity of Turkish political figures. In mid-August 2026, a poll of 1,900 participants identified CHP Elazığ Deputy Gürsel Erol as the individual who delivered the most effective parliamentary speech concerning the “Terror-free Turkey” agenda.

By late August 2026, a separate survey of 2,600 participants focused on the preferences of Turkish youth aged 17 to 29. This study ranked Gürsel Erol as the most liked Member of Parliament among this demographic. Other high-ranking MPs in the youth category included Ali Mahir Başarır, Osman Gökçek, Baki Ersoy, and Hüseyin Yayman. The research noted that young voters prioritize communication, future vision, and youth-oriented social projects.
