Italians evaluate the government positively almost a year after its formation and continue to place their trust in Giorgia Meloni. The number comes from a Political Analysis survey published on Saturday, August 26, by Libero. Both immediately after the elections and in the last few days “a sample of FDI-oriented voters was asked why they chose it. 39% (34% in 2022) indicated the figure of Giorgia Meloni as the driving force behind the party’s success. A strong preference above all for women, mature and transversal in terms of education”. Furthermore, 22% “affirmed that: «Fratelli d’Italia represents the values of the Italian political right»”.
In general, among FdI supporters there is a “certain majority of men, mature, from the South, more on the right than on the center-right”. Among the reasons for the voters’ choice, it must be said that “two fifths of the votes given to the Brothers of Italy tend to belong to those who cannot find an alternative political offer: “it is the only party that has always been in opposition” declared in 9% “, while 26% vote for the FdI because it is the «least worst” of the parties. 31% also declare that “they would still vote for the Brothers of Italy even if Giorgia Meloni was no longer president”, a number that exceeds the 22% of loyalists.
In the analysis that accompanies the research, the sums are raffled: “Today the preference in voting for the Brothers of Italy seems to be maintained, but it also seems fragile: on the one hand, closely linked to the figure of Giorgia Meloni, who, however, being first -minister, in a complex period, remains very exposed; on the other, due to the lack of alternative political supply in the center-right area, which, however, is an exogenous cause, which cannot be controlled by the party itself”.
