A general election is due to be held in Slovakia on 12 June. The Slovak Spectator has published an overview of the performance of the parties in the polls over the years, as well as the results of the most recent poll.

The current government is a coalition of the left-wing Smer party, the nationalist Slovak National Party (SNS) and the People’s Party – Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (ĽS-HZDS). The PM, Robert Fico, is from Smer.

In terms of general trends, the following image captures the situation nicely:

In other words, there has been a rise in support for the right-wing parties since the last election, but probably not enough to dislodge a Smer-led government. Indeed, the level of support for Smer is still quite a bit higher than its vote at the 2006 election.

In terms of party support, the Slovak Spectator reports the following:

Smer 38.6 per cent
Slovak National Party 6.2 per cent
Movement for a Democratic Slovakia 5.8 per cent
Slovak Democratic and Christian Union 11.3 per cent
Freedom and Solidarity 9.6 per cent
Christian Democratic Movement 9.6 per cent
Most-Híd 5.6 per cent
Hungarian Coalition Party 5 per cent

A very useful website/blog for Slovakian parties and elections, pozorblog, seems to suggest that a Smer-SNS coalition is the most likely outcome of the election at this point.
