The last political survey carried out for Agorà records the effects of a political week of high tension, characterized by the case linked to the arrest of Alfredo Cospito in 41 bis and by the clash between the government and the leftists Giovanni Donzelli and Andrea Delmastro of FdI. In the Monday, February 6 episode, Emg-Different researcher Fabrizio Masia explains that “the Demastro-Donzelli case did not essentially touch on the consensus of the parties”, and the latest press releases by President Meloni have had the effect to reassure public opinion about the events that matter most, such as the economic situation. In short, the Costipo case “did not affect” Italians’ voting orientation, while the PD primaries had some effects.
In detail, Fratelli d’Italia “stopped its decline after several weeks of seeing it struggling”. FdI is steady at 27.5 percent while there is a sensational counter-pass on the left. “After so many weeks, the Democratic Party grows a few decimal places, today above the 5 Star Movement”. The Democratic Party grows 0.2 and rises to 17.9 percent, two decimal places more than Giuseppe Conte’s party, which gives up 0.2. Matteo Salvini’s Liga grows by one decimal place and is at 8.7 percent, while there are airs of overtaking between Forza Italia (7.4 percent, two decimal places more than the previous week) and third pole Calenda Azione-Italia viva (7.6, – 0.3).
Dynamics that also reverberate in confidence in the Prime Minister and the government. “We have a recovery in the consensus and approval of the center-right leaders in particular for Giorgia Meloni – explains the researcher – which grows 2 points compared to last week, from 45 to 47 percent. We also recorded growth for Matteo Salvini and Stefano Bonaccini , and a drop in confidence in Conte”.
As proof that the confidence of the Italians in the Prime Minister is not only due to “falling in love” with the leader of the FdI, there is data on consent to the government. Also in this case, positive judgments increased from 45 to 47 percent in seven days. “There is a new growth of consensus in relation to Meloni and the government, evidently the guarantees about what the executive is doing and the prospective evolution of the economy seem to have worked at the level of public opinion”, explains Masia, who highlights as the next of Lazio and Lombardy will be a kind of midterm elections for Meloni and the centre-right, a political assessment of the executive’s work.
