Croatia – Presidential election poll

The first round of the presidential election in Croatia will be held on 27 December with, most likely, a second round on 10 January. The incumbent, Stjepan “Stipe” Mesić, is from the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and he is ineligible to stand again.

The most recent opinion poll appeared at the end of last week in Jutarnjilist. These are the main standings:

Ivo Josipović (Social Democratic Party) 27.6%
Milan Bandić (ind., ex-SDP, Mayor of Zagreb) 15.4%
Nadan Vidošević (ind., ex-HDZ) 12.7%
Andrija Hebrang (HDZ) 8.4%
Dragan Primorac (ind., ex-HDZ) 8.1%
Vesna Pusić (Croatian People’s Party-Liberal Democrats/HNS-LD) 6.0%

The same poll has Josipović beating Bandić by 47.4% to 36.1% at the second ballot.

These standings have changed considerably since I last reported a poll back in September.
