Two leaders at a loss: Meloni drops by 3 percent in consensus, Schlein by 2.2

Less political bias, more facts. The latest Euromedia research surveys published by Press have revealed that something is changing in Italy, at least in the priorities of Italians. The issues promoted and promoted by politics are no longer central, the problems have returned to the real ones also in the perception of citizens: inflation, price increases, taxes on companies and families, are the major concerns of Italians, reducing, at least in good party, the topics around which the political parties are opposing each other.

The political framework is fairly stable, with the Brothers of Italy still in first party and the Democratic Party following at a safe distance, but the consensus enjoyed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is starting to decline, drops to 37.9 percent of the preferences (below 40 per cent, losing almost 3 percentage points) and the new PD secretary Elly Schlein, at a loss by 2.2 percentsettling at 26.2 percent (while the Democratic Party remains steady at 20.5 percent).

In 15 days the approval rating for the majority, in which strong discontent is perceived, and for the first party also dropped by 3 points: Fratelli d’Italia lost half a percentage point (reaching 35 percent).

Interviewed on what was Italy’s real emergency at the moment one out of two citizens (48.6 percent) responded to inflation and price increases. Immediately after (26.2 percent), and this is a novelty in recent weeks, the landings of migrants and the government’s management of immigration. For one in four it is taxes (24.8 percent). Also in the top positions are health and personal care (21.7 percent), as well as the continuation of the war in Ukraine (20.6 percent). Then tax evasion (16.5 percent) and the lack of a vision for the new generations (15.8 percent) and again the crisis of companies that by relocating leave large numbers of people jobless (15 percent). This is followed by the management of the Pnrr, which in recent days is seeing a peak of interest due to the not encouraging report of the Court of Auditors (13.7 percent). With 10.4 percent, the issue of security has also returned to the fore. The last place (3.7 percent) is occupied by relations between the United States and China.

The issue of civil rights is divisive. Self the majority of Italians (48.4 percent) are in favor of adoption for same-parent couples, the same cannot be said when speaking of gestation for others (the so-called “surrogate motherhood”). On the gpa, 57.7 percent of citizens say they are against it.
