Rating of the ruling party during the last quarter of 2008 is very low, which is a logical follow-up, the economic situation in Latvia in the context.

Tight lines hold the lot "Center", which compared with previous quarters are not drastically changed.

If the view of the lot, which consists of the current government, then still only the Greens and Farmers Union passes 5% mark, which means that the battle for the electoral votes still to be very tough.

As mentioned it will usually take place in Latvia, then all views of the electorate will determine advertising effectiveness. Very uncomfortable for us to recognize that before the election palsosim of strawberries and whipped cream white zirgā heroes.

Statistics: Latvian Facts

SC Rating month increasing at 2%. From 3.1% in September to 4.1% in October experienced a rise in popularity of Us. One of the greatest October ratings veiksminiecēm is LSDSP, which should be ready to vote 2.8% (September - 0.7%). "It is society's response to the crisis, it looks to the left parties, which has to be more associated with equality," Mr Eddie permits.

TP will continue to decline in popularity for several months. In August, and was supported by 4.5%, but in September there were only 4% of the respondents. Mr Eddie as one of the major coalition party apparent causes is that the time since Prime Minister Aigars Kalvitis demisijas last year at the end of the TA is increasingly less determined by the agenda. "They have their own publicity and dimensions remained poor," argues sociologist. After the October rating table was still too early to judge how the parties affected by the new leader, Marek TA Segliņš into the chair.

Next is where to go. As a fact the director of Latvia Aigars Freimanis evaluate the People's Party (TP) the popularity of October, which dropped to 2.9%. Lot, whose ratings at the time of its establishment a decade ago has reached up to 25%, this is an all time low popularity score. At the same time, a growing number of those surveyed expressed willingness to vote for the Harmony Center (SC) - For those already in 12.9% of potential voters. In addition to SC from the parties represented in parliament today there still could re-enter the Greens and Farmers Union (6.0%) and New Era (5.1%), Latvia, the fact the survey shows.

Sociologist Mr Eddie points out that now is the deep starpvēlēšanu stage - before the next parliamentary election is two years. Therefore, it is premature to draw any conclusions. But one is clear - Latvia lot electorate is not loyal, the only exception is the SC.
