ORF Summer Talks: Stocker Tops in Sympathy, Kickl in Credibility

The pollsters wanted to know whether the statements of the party leaders were "convincing" and whether they themselves appeared "credible" and their performance "likable." FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl scored best in the categories "convincing and credible." However, he landed in last place in terms of likability.

Stocker leads in likability

SPÖ leader Andreas Babler, according to the survey, has considerable catching up to do in all three categories. His performance was rated as the least "convincing" by the respondents, and he also ranked last in credibility. In terms of likability, he was ahead of Kickl in the second-to-last place. Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) scored best in likability. At least 59 percent of respondents found his performance "likable," while 35 percent felt this description did not apply.

In terms of likability, NEOS leader and Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger came in second behind Stocker (54 percent "applies"/31 percent "does not apply"). She was followed by Green leader Leonore Gewessler (53 percent/36 percent), Babler (47 percent/39 percent), and Kickl (39 percent/43 percent). According to OGM, the survey is a self-conducted study without a commercial or political client (screening based on over 1,000 representatively selected eligible voters, note).

Kickl number one in credibility

The respondents found the statements of the FPÖ leader to be the most "convincing" (68 percent "applies"/25 percent "does not apply"). In this category, Stocker landed in second place (56 percent/34 percent). Following them are Meinl-Reisinger (52 percent/33 percent), Gewessler (50 percent/39 percent), and Babler (47 percent/45 percent).

Kickl also leads in credibility: 63 percent found his performance "credible," 30 percent did not. Gewessler's performance was found "credible" by 59 percent, 37 percent did not. In this category, Stocker was in third place (54 percent/33 percent), followed by Meinl-Reisinger (52 percent/34 percent) and Babler (45 percent/48 percent).
