With two weeks to go before the general election, half of Dutch voters still do not know who to support, according to a new poll of members of the EenVandaag panel.

The poll shows a drop in support for the far-right PVV, which is on course to win 31 seats in the 150-seat parliament — six fewer than its current total.

While most PVV supporters understand Geert Wilders’ decision to stop campaigning after he was reportedly placed on a Belgian hit list, 60% say he needs to take part in debates with other party leaders.

Nevertheless the PVV remains the largest party in the poll, followed by the GroenLinks-PvdA alliance on 25 seats (up two on the previous poll) and the Christian Democrats, who are unchanged on 23.

The right-wing liberal VVD are down 10 on their current number of MPs, at 14, while support for the liberal democratic party D66 has crept up to 14 — a rise of five compared with the last election. Voters told researchers they have more confidence in the party now and that it has “a clearer story” than in 2023.

The far-right JA21, which returned one MP in 2023, is projected to win 13 seats as it takes support from the PVV, VVD and pro-countryside BBB. The remaining parties are expected to gain no more than five seats each.

Voters who have not yet decided whom to vote for are most likely choosing between the CDA, the VVD and D66, the researchers said.
