Romania's isolationist party AUR consolidated its leading position in two polls carried out by Avangarde and CURS, although the scores and the advance versus the primary challenger – the Social Democratic Party (PSD) – differ significantly between the two estimates. Among the ruling coalition's parties, PSD stands out with scores of 19% and 23%, respectively. The gap between AUR and PSD is measured at 22% by Avangarde but only 11% by CURS. On the opposite side, the political institutions that are not seen well are the Presidency - 40%, the government - 27%, the Constitutional Court - 26%, and the Parliament - 25%. "The CURS survey from September 2025 shows a public dominated by pessimism, with high trust in institutions considered stable and protective, but with pronounced scepticism towards politicians and political institutions.
