Self-Classification on the Left-Right Scale of Political Orientation - June/July 2023

In the summer survey the Public Opinion Research Centre gave all respondents a question that at eleven-point scale measures the left-right political orientation: "In politics, people sometimes talk about right and left. Where would you place yourself ranked on this scale?"

22.9% of citizens place themselves to the left of the center, 44.0% to the right and 25.5% to the center.
