The survey results came after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's recent visit to the White House for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and amid Türkiye’s intensified diplomatic efforts on Gaza.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached on Oct. 10 under a 20-point peace plan proposed by Trump.
Trump has recently praised Türkiye’s role in securing the ceasefire in Gaza, calling Erdogan “fantastic” and highlighting Ankara’s regional influence.
According to the T24's report, evaluating the polling data, Panorama Research Director Osman Sert said, “Looking at the trend in the competition between the AK Party and CHP, for the last eight months since March, except for the very close figures measured in June, CHP has received more votes than the AK Party.”
